Performance Assessment
We use the same testing technology trusted by professional sports organizations and Olympic programs — delivered in a clinical environment designed to turn your numbers into a plan.
Most people train hard. Very few train informed. The MHP Optimal Performance Assessment gives you a complete picture of your physical capacity — strength, symmetry, movement quality, and force production — so every training decision is backed by data. It isn’t reserved for elite athletes: it’s for anyone who wants to know where they are, close the gap to where they want to be, and stay healthy doing it.

The Technology Behind the Assessment
MHP uses the VALD Performance ecosystem — the same suite of tools used by teams in the NHL, NBA, AFL, and Olympic programs worldwide. This isn’t gym equipment. It’s clinical-grade measurement technology.
DynaMo Plus — Strength & Force Testing
A wireless handheld dynamometer that captures muscle force output with clinical precision. Every major muscle group is tested on both sides, so nothing is estimated — it’s measured.
- Maximal strength (MVC) for each muscle group
- Limb Symmetry Index — side-to-side comparison
- Hamstring-to-quad (H:Q) ratio — a key injury risk marker
- Hip and shoulder rotational strength balance
Your numbers are benchmarked against sport-specific normative data and tracked across every phase of your program.
HumanTrak — 3D Movement Analysis
Camera-based motion capture that quantifies how your body moves in real time — no sensors, no markers, just precise 3D analysis.
- Single-leg squat mechanics and knee alignment
- Landing strategy and deceleration control
- Hip drop and pelvic stability under load
- Gait metrics: cadence, stride length, vertical oscillation
Most athletes have strength — they lack the movement quality to express it safely. HumanTrak shows exactly where mechanics break down, and quantifies the improvement as we address it.
VALD Hub & MoveHealth — Your Data, Your Program
Every result is stored, tracked, and visualized in the VALD ecosystem. Re-tests are benchmarked against your own baseline — not just population averages.
- Performance tracking across every assessment
- Visual dashboards: strength curves and symmetry scores
- Return-to-sport threshold monitoring
- Personalized exercise programs delivered through MoveHealth
Data is only valuable if it drives decisions — every phase change in your program is supported by numbers, not guesswork.
What Happens After Your Assessment
Your clinician walks you through your findings — what the data shows, where your gaps are, and what it means for your training. Within a few days you’ll receive your personalized Patient Pack: a detailed 20-page document covering your phase placement, program priorities, and the specific work ahead. The MHP 5 Phases of Care guide everything from there:
- Assessment — baseline strength, movement, and force production profiled with VALD technology.
- Restore & Stabilize — address asymmetries, restore joint control, build the foundation for load tolerance.
- Optimize — sport and activity-specific loading to close the gap between capacity and demand.
- Enhance — peak performance training: power, speed, reactive capacity, and sport transfer.
- Maintain — long-term monitoring, re-testing, and benchmarking to protect your progress.
Who Is This Assessment For?
- Competitive athletes — identify performance limiters before next season
- Post-injury return — objective data to confirm readiness, not a feeling
- Training plateaus — find what’s actually holding you back
- Injury prevention — catch asymmetries before they become injuries
- Masters athletes — stay strong, mobile, and in the game
- Active professionals — perform at your best in sport and in life
