The ForceDecks Wireless Adapter is available now as a free upgrade for all first-generation @forcedecks. Become fully wireless: connect to the ForceDecks app for iPhone and iPad using its onboard Bluetooth 5 chip and unplug from the wall thanks to a rechargeable battery.

Have you added ForceDecks Vision to your toolkit yet? #VALD #VALDPerformance #ForceDecks

Monday is going to be huge. #VALDPerformance #VALDHealth

VALD Health has touched down at @APTAcsm in San Antonio, TX! Come and chat with the team and find out what we've been working on 👀 #VALD #APTACSM

My first thread, bare with me - not for everyone. I’ve taken it for granted that force plate use is common practice these days in high performance sport. Interestingly, many of my discussions of late with teams suggest otherwise

How can you separate testing from training and use force plates appropriately in high performance team sports? We are pleased to release 'Integrating force plate testing in high performance environments' with David Howarth (@connachtrugby ). Watch: bit.ly/3GLifC5

Great to see the testing day setup @acea_ngel! @forcedecks @the_NordBord @The_ForceFrame

We are pleased to announce our upcoming webinar, 'Integrating force plate testing in high performance environments' with David Howarth (Head of Performance at @connachtrugby). To watch this webinar and others in the @VALDperformance series, register here: bit.ly/3ExbjrA

ForceDecks can be used to objectively measure balance using Centre of Pressure tests. But what is Centre of Pressure as compared to Centre of Mass? Read the @VALD_Health blog for an explanation of the key differences.

What are key considerations when comparing squat tests from different sessions? Dr @PhilipGrahamSm2 notes that rather than looking at every minor fluctuation in the force-time curve, it can be more meaningful to look at an average over the phase.  bit.ly/3tG99PX

Introducing @forcedecks Balance Testing. 🔸 Three new tests. 🔸 Alter tests with added new parameters. 🔸 Assess balance using real-time Centre of Pressure measurement. 🔸 View instant results in-app and longitudinal data in VALD Hub. Get started: vald.com/forcedecks/

What metrics should you look at when analysing a squat on force plates? See what our webinar guest Dr @PhilipGrahamSm2 (Co-Founder of @ForceDecks) suggests in this short snippet. Watch the full webinar and sign up for free here: bit.ly/3yKJZD6

Return to performance: what's the process for elite female footballers to return from ACL injuries and why is a performance-based approach key to their rehabilitation? Read the summary of findings from a paper by Taberner et al. (2020) here 🔗 bit.ly/3k3u1z1

What are some problems with measuring rate of force development as a metric in a squat analysis?  We sat down with Dr Phil Graham-Smith (Co-Founder of ForceDecks) in ‘Squat Analysis for new force plate users' to explore his experience with using RFD. 🔗bit.ly/3tG99PX

Have you ever wondered how pre-professional ballet school students train, and which tests they use to measure neuromuscular strength using force plates? Read download the full case study with @royalballetschool 🔗 bit.ly/3fIdKfH

@Keegs_DPT_CSCS Hi @Keegs_DPT_CSCS, Centre of Pressure tests are available on our latest models: - ForceDecks Max - ForceDecks Lite V2 - ForceDecks Mini Please feel free to contact info@vald.com for any more details🙂

@forcedecks Is this feature available for ForceDecks Lite?

Testing out the recently released Centre of Pressure tests on the VALD ForceDecks. Recovering from Syndesmosis stabilisation surgery, we were able to map out his performance during single-leg balance tasks. 🎥 @movementrxau (Instagram)

Thoroughly enjoyable couple of days as always in Nijmegen, Netherlands discussing all things #ACL and #Groin 🚴🏽🚴🏽🚴🏽
