VALD Strength & Movement Assessment
Objective Strength Testing with VALD Technology
We believe that better data leads to better rehab. That’s why we use VALD’s industry-leading ForceDecks and Dynamo systems — the same technology trusted by elite sports teams, research hospitals, and Olympic programs worldwide — to precisely measure muscle strength, balance, and power.
Why Use VALD Technology?
Traditional strength tests rely on guesswork or subjective feel. VALD removes the uncertainty by capturing accurate, repeatable data in seconds. This allows our physiotherapists to:
- Pinpoint muscular imbalances
- Track your rehab progress objectively
- Make smarter return-to-play decisions
- Customise training or rehab to your specific deficits
What We Measure
- Lower limb power, symmetry, and load tolerance
- Jump and landing mechanics
- Grip and upper-limb strength
- Balance, postural control, and stability
- Tendon loading ability (e.g. Achilles, patellar)
The Systems We Use
We use two of VALD’s flagship systems:
- VALD ForceDecks – dual force plates measuring balance, jump height, rate of force development, and load symmetry.
- VALD Dynamo – a hand-held digital dynamometer for measuring isolated muscle group strength and comparing side-to-side differences.
Who It’s For
- Athletes returning from injury
- Runners or field players managing chronic niggles
- Post-operative patients rebuilding strength
- Anyone wanting an accurate baseline of performance

I cant recommenced Louth Physiotherapy Enough. I had an appointment with Robbie regarding an on going issue with my shoulder. I have been waiting nearly a year for answers to my issue. I was given a plan going forward, exercise's and solutions to my issue. The overall service was relaxed and informative. I got all the help and answers I have been looking for.

Judith Clinton
I struggled with shoulder pain for over a year, which really impacted quality of life. A colleague recommended Robbie in Louth Physiotherapy Clinic and I attended 2 weeks ago and again this morning. I've been fully confident in Robbie's expertise. After carrying out a comprehensive assessment, he provided me with home exercises, which have been further modified today. I am thrilled with the progress and reduction in pain I experience . Treatment during todays session provide instant relief and Robbie provides very clear instruction on how to get the best from home based exercises.
The clinic space is clean, safe and spacious, with all necessary precautions very evident.

very professional. In less than one hour the tension I felt on both my upper and lower back has been relieved. They also followed me up with an exercise program to help me treat the area. Couldn't ask for more: professional, clear, always available for further explanation and advice. Highly recommended.
