We get a number for every muscle and every movement.
Assessment by feel produces an opinion. A frame and a dynamometer produce a measurement you can act on, compare, and check again.
The measurement hardware we run. 2 systems travel to your site. One does not.
VALD ForceFrame
Isometric strength and left to right symmetry, measured standing in a frame.
- No technique to learn, so the number is not a skill score
- Safe at any age and any fitness level
- Moves a queue of employees through quickly
- Catches left to right asymmetry before it becomes a claim
What changes the moment the measurement exists.
A baseline that predates the claim
When someone does get hurt, you already know what they could do the week before. That single fact changes every conversation that follows it.
A comparison that is actually fair
Results are read against others of the same age and sex. A 57 year old is not measured against a 24 year old, and neither is told they are fine when they are not.
An early warning nobody feels yet
Left to right asymmetry shows up in the numbers long before it shows up as pain. That gap is the cheapest thing on this page to fix.
Benchmarked, not just recorded
A force number on its own means nothing. Against the same age and sex, it means everything.
Test, benchmark, prescribe, retest. Then do it again.
A single assessment is a snapshot. The value is in the 2nd one, and the 3rd, because that is where progress stops being a claim and starts being a record.
Test
Full strength and functional capacity assessment. Pushing, pulling, lifting, carrying and the tasks the job actually contains.
Benchmark
Every result is placed against others of the same age and sex. A number on its own means nothing.
Prescribe
An individual exercise program aimed at that person's specific deficits. Not a group class.
Retest
Repeat testing throughout, so progress is tracked objectively and the program is adjusted on evidence.
↻ back to step 01
From a deficit to a program, not from a job title to a program.
The assessment decides which program a person gets. 2 people on the same line often end up in 2 different programs, because their numbers were different.
Bulletproof Back
Lumbar spine and trunk
Shoulder Boulders
Shoulder, scapula and overhead work
PostureStrong
Sustained posture and static load
The measurement is only half of it. The other half is not waiting.
1.4x
Wait too long to start treatment and the worker is 1.4 times more likely to never come back at all.
as published: RRRadj = 1.4, 95% CI 1.03, 1.8
66 days
Shoulder injuries healed and got back to work about 2 months sooner under a proper care pathway.
as published: MD = 66.4; 95% CI 49.1, 83.7
1.8x
Workers on that pathway were almost 2× as likely to get back on light duties instead of staying home.
as published: 1.8 times greater (95% CI 1.4, 2.3)
+33%
A third more workers came off wage replacement benefits and back onto payroll.
as published: 33% greater
