VALD is the world’s leader in musculoskeletal assessment and rehabilitation.

Partnership with VALD

The HERC – Health, Exercise & Research Center is proud to announce a partnership with VALD. (image 3.)

This partnership includes joint projects, education, and research in the UAE and GCC regions. This is VALD’s first partnership in the Middle East, and at the same time, it’s the first time for HERC that we signed a partnership for research purposes. All three HERC Departments will benefit from VALD Technologies. HERC’s Research Department will benefit from VALD equipment in its human performance laboratory and will be able to conduct various research projects in sports, exercise, and rehabilitation. HERC’s Education Department will utilize VALD equipment to offer its students a unique experience of practicing and trying out various testing methods and procedures as part of the curriculum in many courses. Finally, HERC’s Strength Department plans to launch sports and exercise services and VALD technologies for testing, monitoring, and tracking clients’ progress.
