Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Lacrosse biomechanical assessment include?
The Lacrosse protocol assesses Lower Trunk Rotation, Shoulder Internal Rotation, Hip Internal Rotation and 3 additional ROM tests specific to lacrosse demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Lacrosse assessment?
Any lacrosse athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in lacrosse-specific movement patterns.
What does the Lacrosse protocol cover?
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 Lacrosse protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Lacrosse protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.

Related Sport Protocols

Ice Hockey

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

 Muay Thai

Stand-up striking using all eight limbs. Demands hip ER for roundhouse chambering, thoracic rotation for elbows/knees, and single-leg balance for kicking.

 Running

Sagittal-dominant cyclical sport where injury risk correlates with hip drop (Trendelenburg), reduced hip extension, ankle dorsiflexion deficit, and thoracic rotation restriction. Assessment focuses on gait-cycle prerequisites rather than maximum ROM.

 Track & Field (Throws)

Power-rotational events requiring thoracic rotation for wind-up, hip IR for power foot plant, shoulder mobility for delivery, and core bracing for force transfer.

 Judo

Olympic throwing and ground grappling demanding grip strength for kumi-kata, hip mobility for throw entries, shoulder stability for grip fighting, and ukemi readiness.

 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.
