The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between lumbar lordosis in functional dance positions and low back pain (LBP). Thirty full-time undergraduate ballet and modern collegiate dancers (28 female, 2 male) from three university dance programs participated in this study. Functional lumbar lordosis, hip passive range of motion, and core endurance were measured in a single session. Dancers participated in weekly follow-up surveys over a 4-month period to track the presence and severity of LBP. Primary analysis was performed using independent t-tests between groups who did and did not develop pain. Secondary analyses were performed using Pearsons r correlation. Eleven dancers reported no pain during the follow-up period, 16 reported pain, and three did not respond to follow-up surveys. Lumbar lordosis in right developpé á la seconde and right retiré was significantly greater (p < 0.05) in the group who reported pain compared to the group who reported no pain. Increased hold times in the supine bridge position was shown to be fairly correlated (p < 0.05) to reduced lumbar lordosis in first position (Pearsons r = 0.381), left retiré (Pearsons r = 0.396), and right developpé á la seconde (Pearsons r = 0.365). The results of this study suggest a relationship between increased lumbar lordosis in the retiré and developpé á la seconde dance positions and development of LBP. Increased endurance of posterior core musculature and gluteal muscles was inversely related to the magnitude of lumbar lordosis in some dance-specific positions. The measurement of lumbar lordosis during functional dance positions, particularly those requiring single leg stances, may help identify collegiate dancers with increased risk of developing low back pain.","PeriodicalId":46421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dance Medicine & Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85511037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional analysis investigated the relationship of year group and sex with countermovement jump and injury incidence (primary outcome) in adolescent ballet dancers at a pre-professional dance school. Method Countermovement jump (CM]) height was recorded at the start of the academic year for 179 participants (M = 68, F = 111) spread across eight year-groups. Injury etiology and incidence was prospectively recorded over a 6-month period (September through February) by the medical team using a time-loss definition. Results Between-subject statistically significant differences were reported for sex [F(1, 153) = 101.46; p < 0.001], year group [F(7, 153) = 12.57; p < 0.001], and sex*year group [F(7, 153) = 9.22; p < 0.001]. Mean CM] across the year groups ranged between 24.7 to 41.3 cm for males and 23.5 to 25.1 cm for females. Injury incidence per dancer was 0.84 (CI: 0.13, 1.56) and injury incidence per 1,000 hours of dance was 1.94 (CI: 1.63, 2.25). No statistically significant differences between sexes or year groups were reported for injury incidence per 1,000 dance hours and time-loss. Hours dancing was statistically significantly positively associated with CM](r = .481,p < 0.05) and negatively associated with injury incidence (r = -.253, p < 0.05) for males; for females it was positively associated with time-loss (r = .254, p < 0.05). Conclusion Even though CM] was cross-sectionally monitored, the expected increased physical abilities in males as they grew older and progressed through their training was observed. Females did not indicate a similar increase in their physical ability, but they seemed to become more susceptible to injuries as they grow older. The lack of this speculative physiological development for the females may be associated with the ballet-only approach in their training. The use of CM] as an injury screening tool may be limited however, it could still be used as a tool to monitor physiological and fundamental motor skill development of adolescent dancers, as jumping is an integral part of ballet.","PeriodicalId":46421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dance Medicine & Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85899499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low back pain can have negative secondary consequences on dancers’ lives and careers. Still how LBP impacts dancer function and medical care-seeking behaviors and whether these issues differ across dance genres, is understudied. Materials and Methods Two hundred and eight-nine ballet, modern, and hip-hop dancers and teachers (median age: 20.3 years; range: 18 to 69 years) in the United States completed an online 24-question survey assessing LBP related self-reported injury history, impact on their lives, and management strategies. We defined LBP as occurrence of acute or chronic pain in the lumbar or sacral regions of the back. Results Two hundred and fifty-seven participants (88.9% of 289 total) reported at least one instance of LBP during their lifetime and 220 participants reported LBP in the prior 4 weeks. Of these 220, 72 (32.7%) had LBP severe enough to limit their activities of daily living. Of the 213 who had LBP and danced during that time, 89 (41.8%) reported that LBP limited their dancing. Pain intensity (median: 4 on a O to 10 scale, IQR: 3.0) and LBP prevalence were similar across dance genres. Dancers sought multiple medical professionals, most often chiropractors (n = 94, 33.8%), medical doctors (n = 77, 27.7%), and physiotherapists (n = 60, 21.6%). Ninety dancers (35.0% of those with LBP) never sought medical care. Dancers who did seek care reported higher pain intensities (median: 4, IQR: 3.8) than those who did not (median: 3, IQR: 3.0). Conclusion Overall, most participants did suffer from LBP. Low back pain negatively impacts dancers’ everyday activities and dancing. Pain intensity and loss of function may impact care-seeking. Our findings highlight the need for all dance stakeholders to educate dancers about their health, provide resources for dancer health care, and proactively create an environment that supports injury reporting behaviors in dancers.","PeriodicalId":46421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dance Medicine & Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81469802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Greater Star Excursion Balance Test Performance in Thai Khon Masked Dancers versus Nondancers","authors":"Warin Krityakiarana, N. Jongkamonwiwat","doi":"10.12678/1089-313X.091522a","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12678/1089-313X.091522a","url":null,"abstract":"The Khon masked dance drama is an authentic Thai classical performance that has been handed down for centuries. The performance has many unique choreographic patterns that are typical of the Southeast Asian performing arts. The Thai Khon masked dance consists of a combination of balance control and limb movement in different rhythms. The grace and beauty of Khon performances are dependent on the precision of the limb movement's curve, angle, and specific position. The connection between balance control and body movements during performance is crucial. The purpose of this study was to compare postural control between Thai Khon masked dancers and nondancers and explore bilateral asymmetry in postural control during single leg standing between the dominant and non-dominant legs using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). Thai Khon masked dancers (n = 25) and nondancers (n = 25) were asked to identify their dominant leg and perform the SEBT using both legs. The reaching distances in different directions from the SEBT were converted to a normalized distance for comparison. A mixed model ANOVA and t-test were applied to determine the differences between directions in both the dominant and non-dominant legs. The interaction between dancer and nondancer groups was also verified. The results showed that dancers performed better on SEBT than nondancers in all directions (p < 0.05). In conclusion, Thai Khon masked dancers demonstrated a superior ability to maintain dynamic postural control during the SEBT. When considering all directions together, the dominant side was not a factor that affected postural control during the SEBT. This study adds further supporting evidence that Khon masked dance training improves dynamic balance control and can possibly be applied as a recreational exercise to promote balance performance.","PeriodicalId":46421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dance Medicine & Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74873121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current evidence from high in quality and quantity research on injury prevention in sport indicates that interventions can reduce injury risks by 30% to 50%. Injury prevention research in dance is limited. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility (adherence, fidelity, and practicality) of a randomized controlled trial for the utilization of neuromuscular training in pre-professional ballet dancers. Methods A convenience sample of 22 pre-professional ballet dancers were randomized into an intervention and control group. The intervention group took part in a neuromuscular-based training workout, five times per week before the ballet class, for 10 weeks. The intervention was an adaptation of the FIFA 11+, an injury prevention intervention and is called 11+ Dance. The intervention consisted of low intensity bodyweight exercises that lasted 20 to 30 minutes performed daily. Results Intervention adherence was 38% ± 8%, with higher participation at the beginning of the study. Attendance for post-testing was low 45% and 36% for the intervention and control group, respectively, mainly due to injury. There were no adverse effects reported, however, the participants reported delayed onset muscle soreness at the beginning of the intervention, indicating that there may be a potential training effect. Fear of muscle hypertrophy and fatigue were also reported as reasons for attrition. The repeated measures ANOVA revealed statistically non-significant differences for the countermovement jump F(1, 9) = 0.36, p = 0.564, η2p = 0.04; reactive strength index F(1, 7) = 0.02, p = 0.885, η2p = 0.003; and the isometric mid-thigh pull F(1, 12) = 0.002, p = 0.967, η2p = 0.000. Conclusion The results of the study, together with the feedback from the participants, suggest that some protocol modifications are necessary for the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial in a pre-professional setting. The current trial has produced valuable information for the intervention fequency and load prescription.","PeriodicalId":46421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dance Medicine & Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78144138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In comparison with other sports, there is a paucity of information in relation to dance and its osteogenic potential. Objective This study aimed to compare tibial geometry, density, and strength in college-aged dancers versus gymnasts and runners. Methods A total of 60 trained eumenorrheic collegiate-aged female dancers (n = 11), gymnasts (n = 11), runners (n = 19), and sedentary controls (n = 19) were included in the study. Bone measurements, including total area (ToA), volumetric (total vBMD) and cortical density (CoD), compressive bone strength (BSI), and polar strength stress index (SSIp) of the dominant limb, were assessed using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) at the distal and proximal tibia (4% and 66% of limb length). Results No significant differences in ToA, CoD, CoA, and total vBMD were found between dancers and the comparison athletes at the measured sites. In addition, strength indices (BSI and SSIp) at the distal and proximal sites were similar between the dancing and both athlete groups. Conclusion Results suggest dance elicits similar structural adaptations at the tibia compared to benchmark high-impact and repetitive impact sports; thus, indicating dance, in its various forms, can have apositive effect on important bone variables that influence density and strength. These adaptations may potentially delay or prevent bone fragility later in life. Future studies should compare individual styles of dance separately, longitudinally, and include other important lower (e.g., hip) and upper body (e.g., radius) sites to further identify which forms provide the greatest osteogenic benefits.","PeriodicalId":46421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dance Medicine & Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88641193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reach distances (percent of limb length), center of pressure (COP, cm²), error scores, and time to completion were measured. Overall, the dance-specific upper body restrictions did not affect the dancer's ability to reach maximally and achieve a successful trial as there were no significant differences between the original SEBT and the dance-specific SEBT parallel condition (p = 1.00). The foam and block conditions were found to be significantly more difficult due to lower reach distance values, higher COP values, and higher error score values when compared to the original, parallel, and turnout positions (p < 0.05). Lastly, it was discovered that 62.61% of all errors made were in the crossed side and crossed front spokes, suggesting these are the most difficult reach directions to accomplish.
