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.

Related Sport Protocols

Swimming (Competitive)

Competitive swimming demanding extreme shoulder IR/ER ratio maintenance, thoracic extension for streamline, ankle plantarflexion for kick propulsion, and bilateral breathing pattern development.

 Mixed Martial Arts

Multi-discipline combat sport combining striking, wrestling, and grappling. Demands hip IR/ER for kicking and grappling, thoracic rotation for power and scrambles, cervical resilience for takedown defense.

 Badminton

Overhead racket sport demanding extreme shoulder rotation speed for smash, rapid lateral movement for court coverage, wrist flexibility for deceptive shots, and ankle stability for explosive lunging patterns.

 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.

 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).

 Volleyball

Court sport with repetitive overhead shoulder loading (spiking, serving), high landing impact demanding ankle stability, knee valgus prevention during jump-landing, and vertical jump power requirements.
