Frequently Asked Questions

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

Related Sport Protocols

Powerlifting

Maximum-strength sport requiring squat depth (hip below knee), bench press arch with shoulder stability, and deadlift hip hinge from floor. Assessment targets the mobility prerequisites for each competition lift: hip flexion/rotation for squat, shoulder mobility for bench, and hip hinge depth for deadlift.

 Fencing

Linear combat sport demanding hip flexibility for the en garde stance, ankle dorsiflexion for deep lunges, thoracic rotation for parry-riposte, and asymmetric loading management from dominant-side overuse.

 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.

 Handball

High-intensity team sport combining overhead throwing, sprinting, jumping, and physical contact. Demands shoulder IR/ER for throwing velocity, hip power for cutting and jumping, and cervical resilience for contact situations.

 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.

 Archery

Precision sport demanding sustained shoulder isometric endurance for draw hold, scapular stability for aiming, thoracic extension for bow posture, and cervical rotation for target acquisition.
