Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Dance (Ballet / Contemporary) biomechanical assessment include?
The Dance (Ballet / Contemporary) protocol assesses Hip External Rotation, Hip Internal Rotation, Ankle Plantarflexion and 3 additional ROM tests specific to dance (ballet / contemporary) demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Dance (Ballet / Contemporary) assessment?
Any dance (ballet / contemporary) athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in dance (ballet / contemporary)-specific movement patterns.
What does the Dance (Ballet / Contemporary) protocol cover?
It covers 6 key ROM tests, identifies risk factors, and generates a prioritized corrective plan with 4 intervention targets.
How do I get started with the Dance (Ballet / Contemporary) protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Dance (Ballet / Contemporary) protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.

Related Sport Protocols

Water Polo

Aquatic contact sport requiring treading endurance, overhead throwing power while treading, shoulder stability under fatigue, and hip flexibility for eggbeater kick efficiency.

 Powerlifting

Maximum-strength sport requiring squat depth (hip below knee), bench press arch with shoulder stability, and deadlift hip hinge from floor. Assessment targets the mobility prerequisites for each competition lift: hip flexion/rotation for squat, shoulder mobility for bench, and hip hinge depth for deadlift.

 Ice Hockey

High-velocity skating requiring hip adduction/abduction for stride, groin resilience, thoracic rotation for shooting, and ankle DF for skating posture.

 Badminton

Overhead racket sport demanding extreme shoulder rotation speed for smash, rapid lateral movement for court coverage, wrist flexibility for deceptive shots, and ankle stability for explosive lunging patterns.

 Golf

Rotational-dominant sport demanding asymmetric hip mobility, thoracic rotation, lead-side weight transfer, and wrist control. Assessment targets the hip IR/ER ratio (critical for X-factor), thoracic rotation capacity, lead foot pressure dynamics, and wrist ROM for club face control.

 Trail Running / Ultra

Extended-distance running on uneven terrain demanding ankle stability for variable surfaces, hip strength for elevation changes, thoracic rotation for arm carriage over long distances, and downhill eccentric capacity.
