VALD Performance Testing
Elite force-plate and strength testing that measures your power, strength and asymmetry with precision — the same technology used by every Premier League club, now a core part of athlete testing at The Treatment Table.
All 20 premier league football teams utilize VALD technology, with every professional footballer in the premier league at some stage integrating this cutting-edge technology into their training and recovery plans.
Human Performance Screening
The Human Performance Screening is tailored to swiftly and precisely evaluate your physical state. This assessment equips us with vital data to accelerate your journey towards recovery and injury prevention.
By pinpointing possible imbalances and weaknesses, we can assist you in establishing a more robust base and reaching your objectives with assurance.
In our clinic we run three of VALD's flagship systems — ForceDecks, ForceFrame and DynaMo — to build a complete, objective picture of how you produce force, where you're strong, and where you're at risk.
See every rep. Measure every newton.
From a simple squat or jump, ForceDecks captures a detailed force-time profile of each leg — hundreds of times a second — that most assessments can't come close to.
Countermovement Jump — the force-time signature
Every phase of the movement is captured. We read the whole curve — how you load, brake, drive and land — not just how high you jumped.
Power, landing & left–right asymmetry
A complete rep is captured on the iPad in real time, so the data is accurate and repeatable — the foundation of everything from a power benchmark to a return-to-play decision.
How we use it
- Quantify lower-limb power, explosiveness and how you absorb landing load
- Detect left/right imbalances the naked eye can't see
- Set objective return-to-play criteria after injury
- Monitor fatigue and readiness across a season
Maximal strength, ratios & injury-risk screening
A fixed, adjustable frame that measures maximal isometric strength quickly and reliably — peak force, side-to-side asymmetry and the key strength ratios that flag injury risk.
How we use it
- Screen groin/hip strength and the adductor : abductor ratio — a key marker of groin injury risk in footballers
- Benchmark strength against your baselines and normative data
- Expose side-to-side imbalances in knee and shoulder strength
- Track rehab progress with hard, repeatable numbers
Example: a live hip adduction / abduction test with left, right and asymmetry read out in real time. →
Portable strength & range of motion
A compact, handheld device that measures strength and range of motion at virtually any joint — precise enough for the clinic, portable enough for pitch-side.
The full-body picture, anywhere
Where a plate or frame isn't practical, DynaMo measures strength and range of motion joint by joint — completing the profile alongside ForceDecks and ForceFrame.
How we use it
- Quick, precise strength and ROM checks, joint by joint
- Portable testing in any clinic room or on the sideline
- Track rehab and return-to-play when a frame or plate isn't practical
- Complete the full-body picture alongside ForceDecks and ForceFrame
From numbers to a plan
Every test feeds an objective profile of your body — turning how you move and produce force into something we can measure, compare and improve.
Objective baselines
Hard numbers for your strength, power and movement — a benchmark to build from and measure against.
Asymmetry detection
Precise left vs right comparisons that reveal imbalances long before they become injuries.
Injury-risk screening
Strength ratios and thresholds — like the adductor:abductor ratio — that flag risk early.
Return-to-play criteria
Objective targets to clear before you return to sport — not guesswork, but data.
Power & explosiveness
Jump and force-time metrics that quantify the qualities that win games.
Readiness & progress
Re-test over time to monitor fatigue, readiness and whether your training is working.
