Measure, train and monitor strength with ForceDecks; the world’s fastest, easiest and most powerful dual plate system for analysing neuromuscular strength and imbalance. Traditionally, force plate software was only capable of collecting and displaying raw data, along with a few simple summary metrics, meaning any further analysis had to be done slowly and manually. With ForceDecks, all that heavy lifting is done for you – from detection to analysis and reporting. The ForceDecks App also allows you to: - Wirelessly collect data via Bluetooth on a range of movements. - Manage or add profiles. - Rapidly run through tests back-to-back. - Upload data to VALD Hub for analysis and comparison to historical results. Requirements : - Requires iOS 13 or later - Requires internet connection (additional fees may apply) - Requires ForceDecks hardware
