VALD Technology - Parkersburg and at the Waverly Health Center
At Taylor Physical Therapy, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care. To help achieve this goal, we are introducing new cutting-edge technology. VALD ForceDecks and DynaMo equipment are now being utilized in our physical therapy assessments and treatment planning.
ForceDecks
VALD ForceDecks are state-of-the-art force plates that analyze balance, strength, power and movement symmetry. Ideal for:
- Assessing lower body strength and symmetry
- Tracking recovery progress with objective, measurable data
- Guiding post-surgical recovery
- Rehabing post-op ACL reconstruction
- Screening for fall risk
- Testing athletic performance
DynaMo
DynaMo is a handheld device that accurately measures muscle strength and joint mobility with precision. It is used at Taylor Therapy to assist in identifying weakness and asymmetry; as well as to track patient progress in the following ways:
- Measuring isometric muscle strength (e.g., shoulders, hips, knees, grip)
- Identifying functional deficits limiting your movement
- Tracking rehab progress and driving clinical progression
- Identifying weaknesses or imbalances
- Personalizing your therapy plan
