Kogarah Physiotherapy & Sports Clinic is home to VALD assessment technology, supporting objective measurement of strength, force, and movement capacity across rehabilitation, injury prevention, and performance pathways.

Using validated VALD systems, we are able to assess key physical qualities and monitor progress with precision. These tools are used to support clinical decision-making, guide rehabilitation progression, and inform return-to-activity or performance planning where appropriate.

Our VALD capability includes the use of dynamometry, force plate analysis, isometric strength testing, and force frame assessments. Data collected is always interpreted within a clinical context and translated into practical, individualised rehabilitation or training strategies.

VALD assessments are not used in isolation or for testing alone. Instead, they are integrated into physiotherapy, sports injury rehabilitation, post-operative care, and performance screening to ensure objective information meaningfully supports outcomes.

VALD Systems Utilised

• Dynamometry – to quantify muscle strength and side-to-side asymmetries
• Force Decks – to assess force production, power, and movement strategies
• Force Frame – for isometric strength testing of key muscle groups
• Iso-Rack – for safe, repeatable assessment of maximal and submaximal isometric strength
