POST SURGICAL RETURN TO PERFORMANCE TESTING

What gets measured, gets managed.

Had Knee, Ankle, Hip or Shoulder Surgery? You’ve been told you’re cleared to ‘Work,’ ‘Run,’ or ‘Return To Sport,’ but how do you actually know? Well in short, you won’t, especially if you don’t have the correct equipment and/or systems. Our technology lets you know if you’re ready to get back out there, or if you’re carrying hidden weaknesses that could put you at risk of re-injury. This is exactly what we test for

WHAT CAN WE MEASURE?

Upper & Lower Limb Isometric Strength Testing

Eccentric Hamstring Strength Testing

Upper & Lower Limb Force Profiling

WHY ASSESS;

Surgery repairs the joint. Objective testing tells you when it's actually ready to perform again.

We use VALD’s ForceDecks, ForceFrame and NordBord systems, the same used by Professional Sports Teams, Rehab Clinics & Universities around the world to give you, your surgeon and your physio real numbers to make meaningful decisions.

YOUR RECOVERY, TRACKED

Tested at every key milestone

Recovery from surgery isn’t a straight line, and it doesn’t end when the surgeon’s done. We test at set points through your rehab so you and your care team always know exactly where you stand - and exactly what to prioritise next.
