VALD Forceframe
Discover ForceFrame at Refine Health
At Refine Health, we’re committed to delivering state-of-the-art assessment and training tools so you achieve better, safer results. That’s why we’ve integrated the ForceFrame system by VALD Performance — a highly versatile strength testing and training platform — into our physiotherapy and performance arsenal.
What is ForceFrame?
The ForceFrame is a comprehensive, easy-to-use system designed for accurate isometric strength testing and training across every major joint and muscle group. It supports hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist, neck and more. With its modular configuration and repeatable setup, the system ensures consistent, reliable data and meaningful comparisons over time.
Why we use it at Refine Health
Precision-driven assessment – With ForceFrame, we can measure your maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) in a given joint or muscle group, then monitor changes over time. This enables us to track progress more objectively.
Tailored rehabilitation & performance training – Once baseline strength is captured, we can prescribe isometric-based training programmes within the same system. Using target zones (percentages of MVC), we fine-tune training for strength recovery, return to sport and performance enhancement.
Efficient and adaptable – Whether you’re recovering from injury, preparing for a competition, or simply want to optimise your strength, the ForceFrame accommodates all body parts and several positions, and can be adjusted to your specific needs.
Consistent monitoring – Because setup is repeatable (same joint angle, same posture, same protocol), we’re able to compare your results session to session, making the data genuinely meaningful.
How it works in our clinic
Initial consultation – We review your history, goals and physical condition, and determine which joints/muscles we’ll assess with ForceFrame.
Baseline testing – You perform a series of isometric tests on the ForceFrame; real-time feedback allows you to see how you’re performing and gives us precise strength data.
Programme design – Based on test results, we set training thresholds (e.g., 60 % of MVC) and utilise the system’s inbuilt training mode to prescribe tailored isometric exercises and rehabilitation strategies.
Progress tracking – At intervals we repeat the testing, monitor improvement (or identify imbalances/asymmetries), and adjust your programme accordingly.
Goal attainment – Whether you’re injury-free, returning to sport, or pushing for new personal bests, the system gives us the data and the control to help you get there.
