Four Domains. One Profile. One Decision.
This framework integrates dynamic balance, mobility, strength capacity, and movement quality into a unified classification model that drives clinical and performance decisions for basketball athletes. Test-agnostic, principle-based, and applicable across clinic, performance, and field settings.
Dynamic Balance & Reach
Multi-directional single-leg reach captures simultaneous demands on ankle, knee, and hip. Composite reach <94% of limb length carries 6.5× injury risk in HS basketball.
- Anterior asymmetry >4 cm flag
- Composite reach normalized to limb length
- Posteromedial & posterolateral reach
Mobility / ROM
Joint excursion required for sport mechanics. Restrictions don't just limit — they redistribute load to adjacent joints.
- Ankle DF (knee-to-wall) target 9–11 cm
- Hip IR/ER symmetry
- Hamstring extensibility
Strength & Force Capacity
Single-limb force production, sustained output, and absorption capacity. Bilateral testing systematically masks unilateral deficits.
- Single-leg heel raise (norm ~25 reps)
- 30-second sit-to-stand
- Single-leg hop LSI
Movement Quality
How force is produced and absorbed — the kinematic signature of stability strategy. Two athletes with identical strength scores can carry radically different injury risk.
- Frontal Plane Projection Angle
- Pelvic drop on single-leg squat
- Compensatory pattern flags
Four Profile Archetypes
Mobility Deficit
Joint excursion is bottlenecking. Force is being redirected to adjacent joints.
Strength / Force Capacity Deficit
Owns positions and controls them — but cannot sustain or scale force under load.
Neuromuscular Control Deficit
Has resources but organizes them poorly. Strategy and motor-learning problem.
Mixed Profile
Two or more domains in deficit. Highest-risk pattern. Sequenced intervention required.

Athlete Profile
Enter demographic and full assessment battery. All measures are between-limb where applicable. Required fields drive classification logic.
Domain Scores
Each domain scored 0–100 against population/sport-anchored norms, with asymmetry tier and rate-limiter flags.
No data yet. Enter athlete profile to generate domain scores.

Stop / Caution / Go Gating
Per framework §5.3 — worst-score gates the system. Lowest tier dictates next phase regardless of strong domains.
| Indicator | Value | Threshold | Status |

Profile Classification
Classification computed from domain deficit pattern. Worst-score gating; rate-limiter dictates next intervention.
No data yet. Enter athlete profile to generate classification.
Mobility Deficit
- Ankle DF <8 cm or side-to-side >1.5 cm
- Asymmetric hip IR / ER
- Quality issues resolve when ROM is restored
Strength / Force Capacity Deficit
- Heel raise below norm or asymmetric >15%
- 30STS below sex-specific cutoff
- Hop LSI <85–90%
Neuromuscular Control Deficit
- Adequate ROM and strength
- High FPPA / pelvic drop >7°
- Composite reach <94% despite normal mobility & strength
Mixed Profile
- Two or more domains in deficit
- Compounding asymmetries
- Highest-risk pattern
Basketball Application
Sport-specific task readiness mapped from domain dependencies. Position-aware weighting per athlete profile.
No data yet. Enter athlete profile to generate task readiness.
Acceleration
First step. Horizontal force production from single limb. High plantarflexor / posterior-chain demand.
Deceleration
Stopping. Eccentric quadriceps and posterior chain absorbing 4–6× bodyweight per contact.
Change of Direction
Cutting. Combined frontal + transverse plane control under high horizontal velocity.
Landing
Rebounding, jump shots, contested plays. Most basketball ACL injuries occur in this phase.
