  • Title: Lateral bias, functional asymmetry, dance training and dance injuries.
    Author: Kimmerle M.
    Journal: J Dance Med Sci; 2010; 14(2):58-66. PubMed ID: 20507722.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this article is to: 1. provide a conceptual framework for consolidating laterality research in dance training from an interdisciplinary perspective; 2. encourage the reporting of lateral data; 3. promote the development of standardized methods for assessing lateral preference and functional asymmetry so that data sets from student screenings, lab studies, and injury reports can be compared; and 4. stimulate further laterality research in the dance studio to examine student preference and teaching bias, thereby promoting balanced training.
