VALD Performance Testing

These specialised plates analyse how your body pushes against the ground during jumps, hops, or squats. They instantly highlight hidden left-to-right force imbalances and show how well you absorb impact.

This fixed frame precisely measures maximum muscle force across your hips, knees, shoulders, and core in safe, fixed positions. It helps your clinician pinpoint exact strength deficits that standard physical exams might miss.

This compact handheld device measures muscle pull and push strength across smaller joint movements with precision. It sends instant live feedback to a tablet, giving you immediate clarity on your current physical capacity.

Your clinician will set up specific movements—like calf raises, squats, or quick hops—connected via Bluetooth to our clinical tablet. You get to watch your force output and side-to-side balance appear live on screen as you complete each exercise.

We calculate the exact force difference between your injured and uninjured sides in real time. This reveals whether your body is compensating or shielding a recovering muscle or joint.

At the end of your session, you receive a straightforward summary of your results with clear strength targets. These objective benchmarks serve as your roadmap to safely track improvement from week to week.

This test evaluates deep lower-leg force capacity, which is essential for runners, field athletes in AFL and football, and dancers—in fact, dancers at the Australian Ballet aim to achieve 2x their body weight on this test!

Particularly useful for jumping sports such as basketball or netball, these tests evaluate landing control while measuring vertical jump height and force plate contact time.

These targeted tests measure force production at the ankle (RSAIP) and knee (RSKIP) in a running-like stance, ensuring your lower limbs can safely absorb and propel impact before you get back to high-speed training.
