VALD ForceDecks

Dual Force Portable Plate Systems

No longer confined to research labs and elite sporting teams, ForceDecks’ lightweight, portable force plates and intuitive app make it easy to assess your strength, movement, asymmetry and balance.

Historically, force plates were notoriously difficult to use and their data was notoriously difficult to interpret. ForceDecks changes that. ForceDecks automatically detects and assesses over 20 different movements, from squats to jumps and from isometric strength to functional tests, such as sit-to-stand and balance assessments. There’s a test for almost any patient or musculoskeletal pathology.

ForceDecks measure not just how much force you are producing, but also where you’re applying it. Whether we’re working with neurological, post-operative or geriatric patients, with Center of Pressure we can assess a range of balance tests in real time with pinpoint accuracy.

Built for performance and portability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is VALD ForceDecks patient data accurate?

“ForceDecks and laboratory plates show less than 1% difference in over 200 metrics [and] mean bias of under 2.5N (and 0.1mm for COP) across all analyzed tests.” Collings, et al. (2024)

What all can VALD ForceDecks test?

ForceDecks automatically detects and assesses over 20 different movements, from squats to jumps and from isometric strength to functional tests such as sit-to-stand and balance assessments. There’s a test for almost any patient or musculoskeletal pathology.

How can patients see their results?

ForceDecks Vision helps make complicated force data simple. We use an iPad camera to capture videos of our patients as they perform any ForceDecks test, and see the force data and footage automatically synchronized, annotated and ready to jump to at any moment.
