What is VALD Performance technology?
VALD Performance technology uses advanced sensor-based systems to measure how your body produces and absorbs force during movement, providing real-time insight into strength, balance, and movement patterns. Like a highly advanced scale, these systems capture precise data every time you stand, move, or perform an exercise, analyzing not just how much force you generate, but how efficiently and evenly your body is working.
By translating this data into clear, actionable insights, clinicians can identify imbalances, track progress, and guide rehabilitation with greater accuracy. Once limited to research labs and elite sports teams, this technology is now used worldwide to help individuals recover faster, move better, and achieve higher levels of performance.
More about ForceDecks - force plates
ForceDecks is a leading force plate system developed by VALD Performance, designed to objectively measure how the body produces, absorbs, and controls force during movement. Used in clinics, high-performance sports environments, and research settings worldwide, ForceDecks provides highly accurate, real-time data that helps clinicians better understand strength, balance, and movement quality in ways that were previously only possible in specialized performance labs.
Using ForceDecks technology, Aim patients can perform simple movements such as standing, squatting, jumping, or landing while the system captures detailed insights into how each limb performs. This allows clinicians to identify asymmetries, monitor recovery, and make more informed decisions throughout rehabilitation and return-to-activity progressions.
ForceDecks technology has been shown to be:
● Capable of delivering highly precise and reliable measurements of force, power, and symmetry during dynamic and functional movements
● Effective in detecting left-to-right imbalances that may contribute to injury risk or inefficient movement patterns
● Sensitive to small changes in strength and performance, making it ideal for tracking rehabilitation progress over time
● Useful in assessing balance, landing mechanics, and neuromuscular control across a wide range of patient populations, from post-injury rehabilitation to athletic performance

More about DynaMo - handheld strength & ROM device
DynaMo is a versatile handheld system for strength and range-of-motion assessment, developed by VALD Performance. Designed for use in rehabilitation, performance, and clinical settings, DynaMo combines handheld dynamometry and inclinometry to provide objective, real-time measurements of muscle strength and joint movement across the entire body.
Using DynaMo technology, Aim clinicians can assess strength, range of motion, and movement quality through a wide variety of functional tests. The system’s modular design and smart attachments allow it to be used handheld, fixed to a surface, or applied directly to the body, enabling highly flexible and reliable testing in almost any clinical environment.
DynaMo technology has been shown to be:
● Capable of delivering precise and consistent measurements of muscle strength and joint range of motion across hundreds of standardized tests
● Effective in identifying side-to-side strength imbalances and movement asymmetries that may contribute to injury or performance limitations
● Able to provide objective, real-time feedback that improves assessment accuracy and supports data-driven rehabilitation decisions
● Designed to enhance engagement and understanding through live visual feedback and simplified reporting for both clinicians and patients

More about HumanTrak - 3D motion capture
HumanTrak is a markerless 3D motion analysis system developed by VALD Performance that captures and quantifies human movement in real time. Using a single, portable camera-based setup, it tracks the body in three dimensions to measure joint angles, movement quality, and compensatory patterns without requiring wearable markers or complex laboratory equipment.
Using HumanTrak technology, Aim clinicians can quickly assess a wide range of functional movements, such as squatting, lunging, balance tasks, and jumping, while the system automatically generates objective, easy-to-interpret data and reports. This allows for immediate feedback on movement quality, helping guide rehabilitation decisions and track progress with precision.
HumanTrak technology has been shown to be:
● Capable of accurately capturing 3D joint angles and movement patterns in real time without the need for markers or lab-based motion capture systems
● Effective in identifying compensatory movements and asymmetries that may not be visible to the naked eye
● Useful for assessing a wide range of functional tasks, including balance, strength, mobility, and dynamic movement control
● Validated against laboratory-grade motion capture systems, demonstrating strong agreement in measuring lower-limb kinematics in clinical and performance settings¹
