Train Smarter Starts Here
The VALD ForceFrame and ForceDeck are foundational tools in helping clients train smarter by identifying muscle imbalances, force output, and movement deficiencies that aren’t visible during a standard workout. These assessments provide objective data that guide personalized training decisions—helping prevent injury, target weak links, and accelerate progress. With this level of precision, “Train Smarter Starts Here” isn’t just a tagline—it’s the first step in building a results-driven plan based on real performance metrics.
Goal Support That Keeps You Focused and Accountable
1. Identify Left-Right Strength Imbalances:
Spot asymmetries that could lead to injury or limit performance—before they cause a problem.
2. Measure Lower Body Power Output:
Track explosive strength and jump mechanics to improve speed, agility, and athleticism.
3. Assess Hamstring and Groin Strength: Detect weak links and reduce risk of strains—especially for field and court athletes.
4. Track Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull (IMTP) Force: Benchmark total-body strength and compare to sport-specific norms.
5. Guide Safe Return-to-Play Decisions: Validate rehab progress and reduce re-injury risk with objective force and symmetry data.
6. Monitor Progress Over Time: Quantify gains in strength, balance, and power—not just weight or reps.
7. Establish a Performance Baseline: Know exactly where you’re starting—so every training block has a purpose.
8. Enhance Personal Training Customization: Turn insights into action with targeted strength programming based on real deficits.
9. Reduce Injury Risk in Active Adults: Catch mobility or force output issues that could lead to falls or overuse injuries.
10. Gain Clarity on What Really Needs Work: Stop guessing and start training with a clear plan—based on how your body actually performs.
Types of VALD Scans
ForceFrame
The VALD ForceFrame is a versatile strength testing system designed to measure isometric muscle strength across key joints such as the shoulder, hip, knee, and neck. Using adjustable load cells, it provides real-time, objective data on strength output, imbalances, and rehabilitation progress, making it ideal for performance monitoring, return-to-play decisions, and individualized training plans.
ForceDecks
The VALD ForceDecks are portable dual force plates used to measure ground reaction forces during movements like jumping, squatting, and balance tasks. They provide real-time, high-precision data on power, strength, symmetry, and rate of force development, helping coaches and clinicians assess performance, track progress, and identify asymmetries or injury risks.
ForceFrame: Strength Testing System
Isometric Hip Abduction/Adduction
Measures: Strength and symmetry of hip stabilizers
Why it matters: Critical for fall prevention, ACL injury risk, and lower-body alignment.
Isometric Shoulder External/Internal Rotation
Measures: Rotator cuff strength and balance
Why it matters: Helps reduce shoulder injury risk in throwing, lifting, or overhead athletes.
Isometric Knee Extension/Flexion
Measures: Quadriceps and hamstring strength
Why it matters: Supports return-to-sport, injury recovery, and muscle balance tracking.
Isometric Neck Flexion/Extension
Measures: Cervical spine and neck muscle control
Why it matters: Beneficial for contact sports and whiplash recovery — builds resilience.
ForceDecks: Dual Force Plate System
Countermovement Jump (CMJ)
Measures: Lower-body power, symmetry, and explosiveness
Why it matters: Key for tracking athletic performance, fatigue, and rehab progress over time.
Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull (IMTP)
Measures: Total body strength and rate of force development
Why it matters: Reveals raw strength potential and neuromuscular readiness for lifting or sport.
Squat Jump
Measures: Concentric power output
Why it matters: Isolates lower-body strength without elastic energy — ideal for baseline strength.
Balance Test (Single-Leg/Double-Leg)
Measures: Postural control and stability
Why it matters: Assesses fall risk, rehab progress, or readiness for high-level return to sport.
VALD Reporting
VALD Performance Reports provide detailed, objective insights into strength, balance, and movement quality using validated force and motion data. These reports are designed to be shared with doctors, physical therapists, athletic trainers, coaches, recruiters, and professional scouts, offering a common language of performance and readiness across healthcare and athletic development. Whether you're recovering from injury, training for competition, or tracking long-term progress, VALD reports deliver the data professionals trust.
