What is VALD Technology?
It provides objective metrics — meaning data that isn’t just subjective feeling or guesswork — for athlete performance, injury risk, recovery, rehabilitation and return-to-play decisions.
What does it measure?
With various hardware & software tools, VALD can assess things like:
- Strength (isometric, dynamic)
- Power and rate of force development
- Range of motion (ROM) of joints
- Movement quality, balance and asymmetry (e.g. left vs right differences)
- Jumping, agility, speed, etc depending on sport or application
What does it help with?
- Makes decision-making more evidence-based: for training load, rehab progress, return-to-sport etc
- Helps identify deficits or asymmetries that might increase injury risk
Here at FNQ Podiatry and Orthotics, we are proud to offer this technology to our patients as it is normally only found in high performance sporting facilities.
