DynaMo Strength & Range of Motion Testing
At Coastal, we use the DynaMo Handheld Strength & ROM System—a state-of-the-art tool that allows us to perform over 300 objective strength and range of motion assessments with precision and efficiency.
What is DynaMo?
DynaMo is a handheld dynamometer and inclinometer designed for modern clinical and performance settings. It features five interchangeable Smart Attachments—including palm, flat, and curved pads, as well as tension links and an adjustable grip strength adapter. These attachments instantly connect via Near-Field Communication (NFC) and allow us to perform a wide range of push, pull, and grip strength tests, as well as joint range of motion assessments using its in-built 9-axis Inertial Measurement Unit.
How Does DynaMo Work?
DynaMo is a fully wireless and portable device that captures real-time, objective data via a custom mobile app compatible with both iOS and Android. All data is synced securely to VALD Hub, where it’s stored under your personalized profile—allowing us to track your progress over time and make data-driven decisions to support your recovery or performance goals.
Why We Use DynaMo at Coastal
- Over 300 strength and ROM tests in one compact device
- Efficient and accurate assessments without manual note-taking

Force Plates
Unparalleled insights to improve your performance.
At Coastal, we use advanced force plate technology to assess how your body moves, produces force, and responds to load. These insights allow us to develop targeted strategies to help you reach your performance and rehabilitation goals with greater precision.
Strength & Movement Assessment
How strong you are and how well you move
Using reliable and objective measurements, we perform a comprehensive assessment of your movement patterns. We evaluate how you push, pull, hinge, rotate, and brace, as well as test your balance, stability, and motor control. This provides a full picture of your functional strength and movement quality.
Performance Testing
Your ability to generate force and handle physical load
With cutting-edge force plates and handheld dynamometry, we analyze both your upper and lower body performance. This includes tests for:
- Power output
- Tendon stiffness and elasticity
- Neuromuscular fatigue
- Dynamic strength index
These tests give us a deeper understanding of how your body handles physical stress and adapts to training or rehabilitation.
Reports & Interventions
Your data, your roadmap to improvement
You’ll receive a customized performance report outlining your strengths, movement quality, and areas for improvement. Bring this report to your coach, trainer, or one of our clinicians to design a tailored plan for training or rehab.
When it’s time to re-test, we’ll track your progress with side-by-side comparisons—making your results tangible and your goals more attainable.
