  • Title: Biomechanical evaluation of dancers and assessment of their risk of injury.
    Author: Schoene LM.
    Journal: J Am Podiatr Med Assoc; 2007; 97(1):75-80. PubMed ID: 17218628.
    Abstract:
    Professional dancers have a 90% risk of injury during their career. The lower extremity is involved in approximately 75% of the injuries sustained by dancers. Proper biomechanical evaluation, risk assessment, and prevention-oriented treatment are necessary to minimize future problems and promote a full and lasting recovery when an injury is sustained. This article outlines the in-office evaluation process and discusses backstage care.
