ASSESSING YOUR STRENGTH ACCURATELY

At Hartwell Physio, we are committed to using the latest technology to enhance our assessments and rehabilitation programs. One of the tools we use to measure strength and track progress is the VALD Dynamo – a state-of-the-art handheld dynamometer that provides objective strength testing.

Why Strength Testing Matters

Strength plays a crucial role in injury prevention, rehabilitation, and overall physical performance. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or aiming to improve your athletic performance, understanding your baseline strength is essential. Traditional strength assessments often rely on subjective measures, but with the VALD Dynamo, we can obtain precise, repeatable data to guide your treatment plan.

How We Use the VALD Dynamo

The VALD Dynamo allows us to measure strength in different muscle groups with accuracy and consistency. Here’s how it fits into our approach:

Injury Assessment: We use the Dynamo to assess muscle imbalances and weaknesses that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction.
Rehabilitation Tracking: By regularly testing strength, we can monitor progress over time and adjust your rehab plan accordingly.
Return-to-Sport Testing: If you’re an athlete recovering from an injury, objective strength data helps us determine when it’s safe for you to return to play.
Preventative Screening: Even if you’re not currently injured, strength testing can highlight potential weaknesses that might put you at risk in the future.

What to Expect in a Strength Test

During your assessment, we will use the VALD Dynamo to test key muscle groups relevant to your condition or goals. The test is quick, painless, and provides immediate feedback on your strength levels. We can then compare your results to normative data or your previous tests to measure improvements. You can access the data and track you progress in an app on your own phone.

The Future of Strength Testing

As physiotherapy continues to evolve, tools like the VALD Dynamo allow us to take a more data-driven approach to rehabilitation. By incorporating objective strength testing, we can create more personalised, effective treatment plans to help you recover faster and perform at your best.
