VALD Performance Testing
At Semaphore Road Physio, our experienced Physiotherapists utilise advanced VALD Performance Testing to provide comprehensive, objective assessments of strength, power, balance and movement control. Using force plates and dynamometry, we gain accurate insight into how your body is functioning, allowing us to identify asymmetries, deficits and performance limitations that may not be visible through observation alone.
This detailed assessment forms the foundation of a structured and individualised management plan. By understanding your specific strengths and areas for improvement, we are able to guide rehabilitation, performance training or falls prevention with clarity and purpose.
Whether you are returning to sport, recovering from injury or surgery, aiming to enhance athletic performance, or working to maintain strength and balance as you age, VALD testing allows us to track measurable progress and make informed clinical decisions throughout your journey.
While meaningful improvement takes time, objective data ensures your program remains targeted, efficient and aligned with your goals. At Semaphore Road Physio, we combine clinical expertise with evidence based technology to deliver assessment and care to the highest professional standard.
About VALD Performance Testing
What We Measure
Using VALD force plates and dynamometry, we assess:
✔ Muscle strength and asymmetries
✔ Power output and rate of force development
✔ Static and dynamic balance
✔ Weight distribution differences
✔ Postural sway and stability
✔ Sit-to-stand force production
✔ Jump, squat and single-leg performance
✔ Functional movement control
VALD Performance Technology is for All Ages
We use VALD Performance Technology to provide objective, data-driven assessment of strength, power, balance and movement control across all age groups. From return to sport testing to falls prevention, our technology allows us to measure what matters so rehabilitation and training decisions are based on evidence, not guesswork.
For Athletes & Active Individuals
Objective testing supports:
Return-to-sport decision making
ACL and lower limb rehabilitation
Hamstring and ankle injury management
Performance profiling & optimising
Identifying strength deficits and imbalances
Reducing re-injury risk
Clear data builds confidence during rehabilitation and provides measurable benchmarks before returning to competition.
For Older Adults & Falls Prevention
Strength and balance naturally decline with age. Measuring these changes early allows proactive intervention.
VALD technology helps us:
Identify fall risk factors
Assess lower limb strength deficits
Measure sit-to-stand power
Analyse postural stability
Track improvements over time
Monitor recovery after surgery or injury
Objective data supports targeted strength and balance programs designed to maintain independence and confidence.
Why Objective Testing Matters
Removes guesswork from rehabilitation
Tracks measurable progress over time
Supports safe return to sport or activity
Identifies asymmetries that may increase injury risk
Provides transparent, easy-to-understand reports
Whether the goal is returning to competition or maintaining independence, our approach is proactive, precise and evidence-based.
