Abstract

The aim of this study was to establish the utility of the dance-specific balance test in examining the stability in postural control for dancers. Specifically, the method involves using the time taken to stabilize upon perturbation to quantify postural stability. The dance-specific balance test involved performing a four-step dance-like routine followed by a forward hop onto the force plate with one's dominant leg, ending with an attempt to sustain balance for a 30-s period. Results from the dance-specific balance test indicated that dancers stabilize faster (0.45 ± 0.11 s) than nondancers (1.09 ± 0.59 s); t(35.39) = -6.16, p < .001, Cohen's d = 1.46. Dancers are found to be faster to adapt after a perturbation than nondancers, and this suggests the usability of this tool for assessing stability in dancers.

舞蹈特定平衡测试的验证:来自舞者和非舞者之间比较的证据。

本研究的目的是建立舞蹈特定平衡测试在检查舞者姿势控制稳定性方面的效用。具体地说，该方法涉及使用在扰动时稳定所花费的时间来量化姿势稳定性。舞蹈特定的平衡测试包括表演一个类似舞蹈的四步动作，然后用主腿向前跳到力板上，最后试图保持平衡30秒。舞蹈专项平衡测试结果表明，跳舞者稳定速度(0.45±0.11 s)快于非舞蹈者(1.09±0.59 s);t(35.39) = -6.16, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 1.46。舞者被发现在扰动后比非舞者适应得更快，这表明这个工具在评估舞者稳定性方面的可用性。

期刊介绍： Motor Control (MC), a peer-reviewed journal, provides a multidisciplinary examination of human movement across the lifespan. To keep you abreast of current developments in the field of motor control, it offers timely coverage of important topics, including issues related to motor disorders. This international journal publishes many types of research papers, from clinical experimental to modeling and theoretical studies. These papers come from such varied disciplines as biomechanics, kinesiology, neurophysiology, neuroscience, psychology, physical medicine, and rehabilitation. Motor Control, the official journal of the International Society of Motor Control, is designed to provide a multidisciplinary forum for the exchange of scientific information on the control of human movement across the lifespan, including issues related to motor disorders. Motor Control encourages submission of papers from a variety of disciplines including, but not limited to, biomechanics, kinesiology, neurophysiology, neuroscience, psychology, physical medicine, and rehabilitation. This peer-reviewed journal publishes a wide variety of types of research papers including clinical experimental, modeling, and theoretical studies. To be considered for publication, papers should clearly demonstrate a contribution to the understanding of control of movement. In addition to publishing research papers, Motor Control publishes review articles, quick communications, commentaries, target articles, and book reviews. When warranted, an entire issue may be devoted to a specific topic within the area of motor control.
