Teaming up with has changed the way we approach return to sport testing for our atheltes. By utilizing VALD’s ForceDecks and DynaMo systems, we are able to move beyond subjective measures and replace them with quantifiable, gold-standard data.

Key Clinical Advantages:
✅ Assessment of Asymmetries: Identifying hidden limb-to-limb deficits that evade standard screening to ensure balanced loading.

✅ Force-Time Characteristics: Analyzing landing mechanics and eccentric braking capabilities to significantly mitigate re-injury risk.

✅ Progressive Monitoring: Utilizing longitudinal data to ensure athletes meet specific physiological benchmarks before formal clearance.

Teaming up with VALD has enabled us to close the gap between rehab and performance, and ensure that every athlete returns to their sport with a data-validated foundation.

Return-to-sport decision-making must extend beyond visual assessment or time-based milestones. Our ACL rehabilitation program integrates VALD technology to quantify the variables most strongly associated with re-injury risk, functional readiness, and long-term performance.

These are the key VALD metrics that guide evidence-based ACL rehabilitation:

🦵 Limb Symmetry Index (LSI)
Achieving ≥90% inter-limb symmetry across strength and power domains is a widely accepted criterion for return-to-sport. VALD metric output provides precise symmetry calculations for isometric force, jump performance, and landing mechanics to identify clinically significant deficits.

💪 Peak Force & Strength Ratios
Quad to Hamstring(Q:H) —are closely associated with impaired knee function and elevated graft strain. Isometric testing via the ForceFrame and Dynamo quantifies maximal force production with clinical-grade reliability.

⚡ Rate of Force Development (RFD)
RFD reflects an athlete’s ability to generate force rapidly, an essential component of cutting, deceleration, and reactive movement. Persistent RFD deficits post-ACL reconstruction correlate with asymmetrical loading patterns and altered neuromuscular strategies.

🦶 Jump & Landing Force-Time Characteristics (ForceDecks)
ForceDecks provide objective insights into peak power, eccentric braking impulse, propulsive impulse, and bilateral load distribution. These measurements uncover compensations and neuromuscular deficits not detectable through observational assessment alone.

🔁 Reactive Strength Index (RSI)
RSI evaluates stretch–shortening cycle efficiency during plyometric tasks. Reduced RSI is associated with diminished elastic energy utilization and decreased readiness for high-speed, multidirectional sport demands.

🎯 Time-to-Stabilization & Neuromuscular Control
Dynamic knee stability following landing is a key predictor of ACL injury risk. Force-time metrics highlight deficits in postural control, frontal-plane collapse tendencies, and impaired motor strategy selection.

Happy 4 YEARS to WILL POWER PT! 🙌

Four years in and it feels like we’re just getting warmed up. Grateful for a team that shows up every day with skill, energy, and a commitment to getting athletes better, faster.

The high-level athletes who continue to seek us out keep pushing us to pursue higher-level education and sharpen our skills as doctors. Our growth has been surreal.

I’m especially thankful for my four colleagues, , , whose dedication drives everything we do, and for the patients who trust us enough to refer us by word of mouth.

Half of small businesses fail within the first 5 years, and only around 1/3 make it to ten years.

Will Power PT — as we head into our fifth year—is a clear indicator that we are building a home here in Baltimore.

The momentum is strong, the vibe is even better, and the future looks bright.

Come see what we are about. 👀

Hamstring rehab 🦵is not just about rest or stretching- it’s about progressively rebuilding the muscle’s ability to handle load, speed, and length.

Each phase of recovery targets a different demand that the hamstrings face in sport: strength, control, power, and high-speed tolerance.

Here’s how this athlete’s rehab program was structured:

1️⃣ Med Ball Slams

Med ball slams reintroduce explosive hip and trunk movement, teaching thr athlete to generate and absorb force dynamically.

This improves core-hip coordination, trunk stability, and overall force transfer efficiency- helping prepare the body for more dynamic, sport specific movements later on.

2️⃣ Slow tantrums
Targeting the hamstring in a lengthened position is 🔑 after injury. By having the athlete lay across a set of boxes, the leg can move through an extended range, emphasizing end-range strength and eccentric control.

3️⃣ Lateral Lunges
Once isolated strength returns, our goal is to challenge frontal plan stability and hip control. Lateral lunges build strength across multiple directions, which is crucial for athletes who sprint, cut, or pivot.

4️⃣ Treadmill Sprints
The final phase reintroduces high-speed running under controlled conditions. Treadmill sprints expose the hamstrings to the velocity, stride length, and ground reaction forces they’ll face in sport, but still allowing careful monitoring of speed, mechanics, and load tolerance.

🔑 Takeaway: Effective hamstring rehab follows a progressive, multi-phase model including: power, end range strength, multidirectional stability, and high speed capacity.

Post-ACL reconstruction, the immediate goals are:

✅ Preventing quadriceps atrophy

✅ Restoring full knee range of motion

🦵Preventing atrophy

Our key focus during early rehab is to maximize quadriceps strength and hypertrophy while keeping joint stress low. Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training allows us to achieve the muscle-building benefits of high-intensity training using very light loads (often only 20%−30% of max lift). This is critical in the early-to-mid phases when we need significant strength gains but must protect the healing graft and minimize joint pain. Step-ups and squats are fundamental compound exercises for restoring the functional strength needed for walking, stair climbing, and running. By using BFR with these movements, we ensure that the patient is gaining strength and control in a low load setting before advancing to higher impact activities. 

🦵Achieving full knee ROM

Another main goal is to eliminate the presence of an extensor lag in the knee and restore symmetrical quadriceps activation. Achieving full, active TKE is essential to re-engage the Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) which is the main muscle responsible for proper patellar tracking. At Will Power PT we like to use resistance bands during gait training to work on TKE of the surgical limb. Walking with the resistance band actively retrains the quad to drive the knee and achieve full, essential Terminal Knee Extension (TKE).
