Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Archery biomechanical assessment include?
The Archery protocol assesses Shoulder Internal Rotation, Shoulder Horizontal Abduction, Thoracic Extension and 3 additional ROM tests specific to archery demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Archery assessment?
Any archery athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in archery-specific movement patterns.
How long does the Archery protocol take?
The assessment takes 30-45 minutes. It covers 6 key ROM tests, identifies risk factors, and generates a prioritized corrective plan with 3 intervention targets.
How do I get started with the Archery protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Archery protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.
