Frequently Asked Questions

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