Frequently Asked Questions

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