  • Title: [Dance, art and top performance sport with specific injuries].
    Author: Rietveld B, van de Wiel A.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2011; 155(51):A4283. PubMed ID: 22200155.
    Abstract:
    Professional theatre dance has high and specific physical demands, comparable to top sport. Dance injuries are often caused by faulty technique due to compensation for physical limitations. Knowledge of these limitations and professional teaching can prevent many problems. Dance injuries mostly involve the lower limbs, especially the ankles and knees. Dance injuries require that the medical professional has knowledge of dance technique and respects the passion of the dancer. The advice to stop dancing has hardly ever to be given. Scientific, prospective dance medical research is recommended.
