Objective Strength & Performance Testing

At Omnia Physio Potts Point, we use industry-leading VALD performance technology to assess strength, asymmetry and return-to-sport readiness.

We are proud to utilise:

• VALD ForceDecks

• VALD Dynamo

• VALD MoveHealth exercise prescription platform

This allows us to measure what most clinics guess.

​

What Is VALD Technology?

VALD is a global leader in sports performance and rehabilitation technology.

Their systems are used by:

• Professional sporting teams

• Olympic programs

• Elite performance centres

• High-level rehabilitation clinics

At Omnia Physio, we bring this level of testing to Sydney athletes and active adults.

​

VALD ForceDecks Testing

What Are ForceDecks?

ForceDecks are dual force plates that measure how you produce and absorb force.

They provide objective data on:

• Jump height

• Rate of force development

• Left-right asymmetry

• Landing control

• Single-leg power

• Reactive strength index (RSI)

This is critical for:

• ACL rehabilitation

• Return-to-sport clearance

• Knee injury assessment

• Performance profiling

​

Why ForceDeck Testing Matters

Research shows strength asymmetry is associated with:

• Increased injury risk

• Delayed return-to-sport

• Higher ACL re-injury rates

Instead of guessing readiness, we measure:

• Objective symmetry

• Force production capacity

• Neuromuscular control

Return-to-sport decisions are criteria-based — not time-based.

​

VALD Dynamo Strength Testing

What Is Dynamo?

Dynamo is a digital handheld dynamometer that provides precise strength measurements.

We use it to assess:

• Quadriceps strength

• Hamstring strength

• Calf strength

• Hip abductor strength

• Shoulder strength

• Isometric force output

This allows us to quantify deficits that manual muscle testing cannot detect.

​

Why Objective Strength Testing Matters

Research consistently shows that strength deficits:

• Persist long after injury

• Increase re-injury risk

• Delay performance return

With Dynamo, we can:

• Track progress objectively

• Identify asymmetries

• Compare to normative benchmarks

• Adjust programming precisely

You can see your numbers — not just hear “it feels stronger.”
