Some Frequently Asked Questions About VALD Forceplates (ForceDecks)

A force plate is a tool that measures how much force an athlete’s body produces when they move—like jumping or balancing. It helps coaches and therapists see how strong and balanced an athlete is and identify areas to improve or prevent injury.

Force plates give precise data on an athlete’s strength, power, and stability, helping guide better training and recovery plans. This means safer workouts, faster injury recovery, and improved sports performance.

Common tests include jumps, balance stands, and strength checks. Common tests include countermovement jump, squat jump, isometric mid-thigh pull, quiet stand (balance), and sit-to-stand. These are quick and safe ways to measure athletic ability and track progress over time.

They are portable and use advanced technology to provide easy-to-understand results, so coaches and therapists can create the best plan for your athlete. The software identifies and displays relevant metrics automatically, including rate of force development, jump height, asymmetry, and balance measures.

Some Frequently Asked Questions About VALD Dynamo

Dynamo is a small handheld device used to measure how strong an athlete’s muscles are and how far their joints can move. It helps track muscle strength and flexibility during training or rehab.

Knowing your athlete’s muscle strength and joint movement helps prevent injuries and guides recovery if an injury happens. It also shows how well the athlete is progressing in rehab or training.

A therapist uses Dynamo to gently test muscle strength and joint movement during a few simple exercises. The device gives immediate results to help guide next steps.

Yes, Dynamo works with other VALD tools like the Forceplates to give a full picture of your athlete’s performance and recovery.

Some Frequently Asked Questions About VALD ForceFrame

ForceFrame is a comprehensive, easy-to-use isometric strength testing and training system. Select your patient’s name, start a test or exercise, and watch results appear in real time.

Isometric strength is a key indicator of injury risk, rehab progress, and readiness to return to sport or activity. ForceFrame lets you turn that strength into an objective, repeatable number instead of a subjective feel.

 

Beyond testing, ForceFrame lets you prescribe isometric exercise directly from a patient’s results, setting training targets based on percentage of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) – combining assessment and training in a single system, with two models (Max and Fold) to suit different clinics and caseloads.

ForceFrame can be configured into dozens of standardized positions to test isometric strength at the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist, neck and more – accommodating almost any patient’s capabilities.

Some Frequently Asked Questions About VALD NordBord

NordBord is the gold-standard system for hamstring strength assessment. Select your patient, run a test, and see results appear in real time, with summary results shareable with your patient immediately after.

Hamstring strength and asymmetry are well-established injury risk factors. Research shows increasing strength, reducing asymmetry, and monitoring strength after previous injury or as athletes age can all help mitigate hamstring injury risk, NordBord gives you the data to track and act on all three.

 

Athletes can be tested isometrically in a range of positions, then progressed to eccentric testing as they get stronger. NordBord’s Training Mode also allows personalized isometric and eccentric training programs, with target zones and real-time feedback.

NordBord is supported by dozens of peer-reviewed studies and over 10 years of research, bringing research-grade precision, reliability and comfort into a fast, field-ready system.
