  1. 1

    Avoid positioning the front leg in front of the camera, as it blocks the opposite hip joint and affects analysis

  2. 2

    Avoid filming from the side with the far-side hip, shoulder, and arms blocked from view, as this affects analysis

  3. 3

    Keep hands in proper position during the hinge, as lifted hands affect optimal body positioning and analysis

  4. 4

    Keep arms controlled rather than moving around, as arm movement affects upper body analysis and shoulder stability tracking

  5. 5

    Avoid kicking the leg forward excessively, as this artificially affects hip joint stability measurement
