Frequently Asked Questions

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