VALD Biomechanical and Performance Testing
We are pleased to announce that we now have the state-of-the-art rehabilitation technology in the form of VALD foredecks, in our south Kensington Clinic.
Previously only found in sports science labs or in elite training facilities, VALD forcedecks have become an invaluable tool in the recovery and rehabilitation process, giving clinicians objective data to analyse and progress a client’s treatment.
Using the intuitive software, ForceDecks allows quick and easy assessment of stability, strength and movement, all of which is analysed in a single click. ForceDecks dual force plates also enable unparalleled insights into neuromuscular performance, asymmetries and movement strategies. Not only a tool in rehabilitation, but also invaluable in injury prevention and for enhancing training and performance.
The above data demonstrates the lower limb asymmetry in squatting performed by a client 6 months post right uni-compartment knee joint arthroplasty.
Our comprehensive assessment includes:
- Physio-led Biomechanical and Postural Assessment
- Muscle strength testing using the Active Force Digital Dynometer
- VALD Forcedeck testing to gather data on stability, strength and movement
- A bespoke report with tailored guidance and exercise prescription to address assessment findings
- Each session is an hour long and is charged at £155.
