Vald Testing Equipment
VALD ForceDecks
Get real-time, auto-analysed results without the complex process of raw data analysis.

This is one of the most powerful dual plate system for analysing neuromuscular strength and imbalances.
VALD DynaMo
Assess your strength and range of motion (ROM) using hundreds of tests across every major joint in the body.
With modular and ergonomic designs, intuitive data collection and one-click reporting, DynaMo brings a new level of precision to our assessments and rehabilitation planning.
