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.
How long does the Dance (Ballet / Contemporary) 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 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

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.

 Archery

Precision sport demanding sustained shoulder isometric endurance for draw hold, scapular stability for aiming, thoracic extension for bow posture, and cervical rotation for target acquisition.

 Pole Vault

Complex technical event combining sprinting, planting, and aerial gymnastics. Demands full overhead shoulder mobility for the plant, hip flexibility for the inversion, thoracic extension for takeoff, and sprint mechanics for the approach.

 Sailing

Endurance sport with sustained isometric hiking demands, shoulder loading for sheet handling, thoracic rotation for tacking, and grip endurance for helm and line work.

 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.

 Street Workout

Outdoor bodyweight strength: shoulder stability for bar work/human flag, wrist conditioning on hard surfaces, thoracic extension for back lever, core compression for front lever.
