Intermediate VALD Toolbox Workshop in Christchurch

Take Your Physiotherapy Practice to the Next Level with Force Plates and HHD

Build your skills and confidence integrating cutting-edge technology into your clinical practice with this practical, hands-on workshop. Designed for physiotherapists who have some experience using dual force plates and hand-held dynamometry in their clinical practice and want to expand their knowledge in this area.

Session Options

• Morning Beginner Session: Learn the basics of force plate use, master four essential tests, and identify key metrics to focus on. Through case studies and group workshops, you’ll apply your knowledge to real-world scenarios like sprained ankles, rotator cuff tears, and osteoarthritis of the knee.

• Afternoon Intermediate Session: Ideal for those with experience, this session covers rehab monitoring throughout the whole rehab journey, force-time curve analysis, and RSI improvement. Work through advanced patient cases, including ACL rehab, Achilles tendinopathy, hip impingement, and post-dislocation shoulder cases.

In this intermediate user session we will cover:

• ACLR rehab testing and monitoring
• RSI – what is it and how to we change it
• ForceDecks Windows app for FT curve interpretation
• Case studies
• Practical application on the gear – patient scenarios to workshop in groups including ACL reconstruction, Achilles tendinopathy, FAI of hip, post dislocation shoulder cases.

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between technology and physiotherapy, helping you deliver more effective, data-informed care.
