Why Traditional ACL Rehabilitation Falls Short
Traditional rehabilitation often relies on subjective measures and time-based protocols. Without objective data, clinicians and athletes face uncertainty about:
- How the two sides compare to one another (limb symmetry or lack there of)
- Return-to-sport readiness
- Re-injury risk
- Recovery progress
How Force Plate Testing Changes the Game
Our VALD ForceDecks system provides immediate, objective feedback on:
Weight-Bearing Symmetry
- Precise measurement of weight distribution
- Early detection of compensatory patterns
- Real-time visual feedback
Power Production
- Rate of force development
- Explosive strength capacity
- Sport-specific power metrics
Landing Mechanics
- Jump landing patterns
- Deceleration control
- Impact absorption strategies
Data-Driven Advantage
Early Rehabilitation Phase
- Baseline measurements establish starting points
- Objective tracking of weight-bearing progression
- Early identification of movement compensations
Mid-Stage Rehabilitation
- Progressive strength development monitoring
- Bilateral comparison tracking
- Movement pattern analysis
Return-to-Sport Phase
- Objective criteria for sport readiness
- Performance benchmarking
- Risk assessment metrics
- A balance of performance coaching and objective metrics utilized
