Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

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.

 Squash

Explosive racket sport in confined court. Demands thoracic rotation for shots, hip IR/ER for lunging, ankle DF for deep lunges, shoulder flexibility for overhead shots.

 Skateboarding

Balance and impact sport demanding ankle stability for board control, hip mobility for trick execution, thoracic rotation for body rotation tricks, and wrist resilience for fall absorption.

 Climbing / Bouldering

Vertical sport demanding finger tendon health, shoulder stability in overhead and off-axis positions, hip flexibility for high-step and flagging movements, and antagonist muscle balance to prevent pull-dominant postural deformity.

 Motocross / Motorcycle Racing

High-impact motor sport demanding grip and forearm endurance (arm pump prevention), cervical resilience for G-forces and impacts, hip mobility for bike control, and thoracic extension for riding posture.

 Horseback Riding / Equestrian

Seated sport demanding hip adductor endurance for seat stability, thoracic extension for upright posture, pelvic mobility for following the horse's movement, and core stability for balance at all gaits.
