Based on millions of data points, Norms are integrated into all of your VALD systems and reports, helping contextualize your patients’ data.
COMPARISON AT SCALE
The next step.
Norms are the next evolution of objective measurement, providing population-based context that builds a story around your data. By placing individual performance within the context of a patient’s peers, Norms help inform clinical decision-making.
THE VALD DATA LAKEHOUSE
Built on billions of data points.
Norms give powerful context on a massive scale. Based on anonymized data from millions of individuals from a myriad of demographics and billions of data points, VALD’s Norms are the result of a rigorous filtering, cleansing and review process.
VALD DATA CLEANSING PROCESS
The VALD Data Lakehouse
The VALD Data Lakehouse centralizes data across VALD's multiple systems and applies protections using several access and privacy controls. For Norms, filtering processes are used to remove incomplete or low-quality tests, ensuring Norms datasets reflect reliable results. Cleansed data is then used in reporting and analytics, data serving and machine learning.
VALD DATA CLEANSING PROCESS
Quality in. Quality out.
The VALD Data Lakehouse centralizes data across systems and applies filtering processes to remove incomplete or low-quality trials, ensuring Norms datasets reflect reliable results. Practitioners can interpret and compare data with confidence, knowing it is built on consistent and trustworthy inputs.
BEYOND THE NORM
Data that supports your expertise.
Norms are a decision support framework for VALD systems. They provide objective population context that strengthens clinical judgment. By identifying whether results are typical, greater or lower than typical for a given population, Norms back up practitioners’ decision-making with powerful data.
Give your patients context.
VALD’s free home exercise programming (HEP) app MoveHealth is made with the patient in mind. It provides normative data alongside all their objective testing results to better contextualize rehabilitation. MoveHealth empowers them to track progress over time and stay engaged in their movement health journey.
Better justification. Better outcomes.
Rather than chasing symmetry alone, VALD Norms help practitioners contextualize progress and justify treatment decisions, ensuring patient outcomes are not just acceptable, but optimized.
Asymmetry without normative context can misrepresent limb function. Normative data allows us to judge differences against population capacity, task demands and longitudinal trends — not percentages alone.
Normative data for a range of populations
Normative Data Reports based on VALD Norms and published research are located in VALD Hub and available to all VALD users for free. These reports give practitioners the confidence and clarity to compare data, benchmark performance and make key decisions about patient readiness for discharge.
