  • Title: Dance injuries.
    Author: Hald RD.
    Journal: Prim Care; 1992 Jun; 19(2):393-411. PubMed ID: 1609011.
    Abstract:
    Dancers are athletes in an artistic setting. Their injuries, as in other sports, are acute and chronic. Usually, the acute problems are not severe but still can be devastating, especially to the career performer. Chronic problems abound, especially in the lumbosacral spine and lower extremities. Evaluating the dancer with an understanding of the technical and physical demands aids in their care. Treating this dedicated population can be rewarding, and one will find possibly no greater appreciation for one's efforts as a medical practitioner.
