VALD Performance Technology
Upgrade your rehabilitation with the latest technology.
At Ponsonby Physiotherapy, we have enhanced our services by incorporating the latest tech into assessment and treatment plans. This means treatments are more targeted and it produces fantastic results for our clients.
Rehabilitation and Performance Tools
In the past, advanced technology like the VALD Performance system, would only be available to elite sport teams and research facilities. We are excited to bring this level of tech to all our clients. These tools provide fast, accurate measurement of your muscle performance and we use them to achieve better outcomes for you.
VALD ForceDecks
VALD ForceDecks are dual force plates that measure the pressure exerted during movement. Combined with powerful software, they provide a comprehensive analysis of movement patterns. This data allows us to quantify left-versus-right asymmetries, measure the height and speed of a jump, and assess the quality of a landing. We can also evaluate balance and understand why a person may be losing control of their movement. This technology helps us identify and target habits and imbalances that are invisible to the naked eye.
VALD DynaMo
This dynamometer measures the force muscles can produce through either tension or compression. The VALD DynaMo allows for a superior assessment of muscle strength, particularly in the knee, shoulder, and hip. The strength testing can identify imbalances and track rehabilitation progress over time.
Rehabilitation and Performance Gains
Our skilled physiotherapists integrate the VALD Performance tools into treatment plans for a variety of injuries or situations. If you are curious about how this technology could help you please talk to one of our physiotherapists about including it in your treatment plan.
Some common injuries we treat with this tech include:
- ACL injuries
- Meniscus injuries
- Total Knee Arthroplasty
- Patellofemoral pain
- Achilles injuries
- Running-related injuries
- Jumping-related injuries
- Shoulder instability/dislocations
- Rotator cuff tears
- Ankle sprains
- Balance problems
Elite and social athletes aiming to improve performance while minimising injury risk can also benefit greatly from the fast, accurate measurement of muscle balance, endurance and strength. It guides targeted strength & conditioning programmes that get results. If this applies to you, make a booking to see one of our Physiotherapists today.
