ForceDecks by VALD Performance is a dual force plate system designed to measure and analyze various aspects of human performance, such as strength, power, balance, and asymmetry. Here are some key features:

1. Ease of Use: ForceDecks are lightweight, portable, and easy to set up. The intuitive app allows for quick pairing with the plates, making it simple to perform tests and view results immediately[1].

2. Versatility: The system can automatically detect and assess over 20 different movements, including squats, jumps, isometric strength tests, and balance assessments. This makes it suitable for a wide range of athletes and musculoskeletal pathologies[1].

3. ForceDecks Vision: This feature integrates force data with video footage, allowing users to capture videos of athletes performing tests and see the data synchronized with the footage. This helps in identifying issues like force asymmetries.

4. Norms: Integrated normative data provides robust reference points, helping to contextualize athletes' performance and answer questions about the quality of their results.

5. Center of Pressure (CoP): This feature measures not just the amount of force produced, but also where it is applied, offering precise balance assessments.

ForceDecks is widely used in various settings, including sports teams, performing arts, and first responders, to benchmark, monitor, and rehabilitate athletes.

Is there a specific aspect of ForceDecks you would like to delve deeper into?

1. Data Collection: ForceDecks uses precision load cell sensors to measure the forces exerted by an individual during movements such as jumps, squats, and balance tests. The data is wirelessly transmitted to the ForceDecks app and then uploaded to the VALD Hub.

2. Force-Time Curve: The primary data collected is the force-time curve, which shows how force changes over time. This curve is fundamental for calculating various performance metrics.

3. Metrics Calculation: From the force-time curve, ForceDecks automatically calculates a range of metrics, including:Power: The rate at which work is done. Velocity: The speed of movement, Displacement: The distance moved and much more.

4. Asymmetry Analysis: ForceDecks can measure and compare the performance of the left and right limbs, identifying any imbalances or asymmetries that may need to be addressed[1].

5. Normative Data: The system includes normative data, which provides reference points to help contextualize an individual's performance relative to a broader population[2].

6. Reporting: The results are presented in an easy-to-understand format, with visualizations and detailed reports that help practitioners make informed decisions about training, rehabilitation, and performance optimization[1].

This comprehensive analysis helps practitioners understand an individual's neuromuscular performance and make data-driven decisions to enhance training and rehabilitation programs.
