Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Trail Running / Ultra

Extended-distance running on uneven terrain demanding ankle stability for variable surfaces, hip strength for elevation changes, thoracic rotation for arm carriage over long distances, and downhill eccentric capacity.

 Running

Sagittal-dominant cyclical sport where injury risk correlates with hip drop (Trendelenburg), reduced hip extension, ankle dorsiflexion deficit, and thoracic rotation restriction. Assessment focuses on gait-cycle prerequisites rather than maximum ROM.

 Ice Hockey

High-velocity skating requiring hip adduction/abduction for stride, groin resilience, thoracic rotation for shooting, and ankle DF for skating posture.

 Bodybuilding

Hypertrophy-focused training demanding full ROM for maximum muscle stimulus, shoulder health for pressing and pulling volume, hip mobility for squat depth, and thoracic extension for posing and upper back development.

 Field Hockey

Sustained-flexion field sport requiring hip hinge endurance, thoracic rotation for hitting, wrist/forearm resilience, and hamstring flexibility.

 Gymnastics

Extreme-range sport demanding full overhead shoulder mobility for handstands and bar work, hip flexibility for splits and leaps, thoracic extension for backbends, and wrist loading capacity for weight-bearing on hands.
