Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Soccer / Football biomechanical assessment include?
The Soccer / Football protocol assesses Hip Adduction, Hip Abduction, Ankle Dorsiflexion and 3 additional ROM tests specific to soccer / football demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Soccer / Football assessment?
Any soccer / football athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in soccer / football-specific movement patterns.
How long does the Soccer / Football protocol take?
The assessment takes 30-45 minutes. 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 Soccer / Football protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Soccer / Football protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.

Basketball

Multi-directional court sport demanding ankle stability for cutting/landing, hip power for vertical jump, shoulder mobility for shooting, and lateral movement for defense.

 Tennis

Asymmetric overhead + rotational sport with extreme demand on shoulder ER/IR ratio (serve mechanics), lateral movement capacity (split step, recovery), thoracic rotation (groundstrokes), and ankle dorsiflexion (low-stance readiness and lateral push-off).
