Subtalar Subluxation in Ballet Dancers
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1999Ankle injuries frequently occur in dancers. Among these injuries, only a few cases of talar subluxation have been reported in the literature. In our series, we diagnosed and treated 25 subtalar subluxations over a 1-year period in the Ballet Béjart Lausanne company. The subluxations occurred after a grand plie on pointes or at the landing of a jump on

Cuboid Subluxation in Ballet Dancers
Journal of Orthopaedic Medicine, 1992Cuboid subluxation is a common but poorly recognized condition. Its symptoms include lateral midfoot pain and an inability to "work through the foot." In addition, pressing on the plantar surface of the cuboid in a dorsal direction produces pain. The normal dorsal/plantar joint play is reduced or absent when compared to the unin jured side, and subtle

Stress fractures in ballet dancers
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1992We surveyed 54 female dancers in two professional ballet companies. A total of 27 fractures were reported in 17 dancers. Metatarsal fractures were the most common (63%), followed by fractures of the tibia (22%) and spine (7%). Dancers who danced >5 hours per day were significantly more likely to have a stress fracture than those dancing <5 hours

Achilles Tendinitis in Ballet Dancers
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1990Overuse injuries of tendons are known to occur in persons whose activities submit the tendon to excessive stress. Classical ballet dancers performing en pointe, demie point, or plié exert forces that, although normal in magnitude, are increased in frequency, thus overusing the Achilles tendon.

Ballet dancers — pregnancy outcomes
Journal of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health, 1998Ballet dancers have been observed to have increased difficulties in pregnancy and labour. This article looks at this anatomically, physiologically and socially. It suggests that, with the intervention of appropriate health care professionals, (for example, nutritionists, doctors, nurses and midwives), the ballet dancers' quality of life, health status

Spondylolysis in Ballet Dancers
Journal of Dance Medicine & Science, 1997This study of the incidence of spondylolysis in dancers consisted of 65 subjects who were ballet dancers with the Finnish National Ballet. Radiographs of the spine from 60 (25 male, 35 female) dancers were available for analysis. A questionnaire concerning the history and presence of symptoms of low back was completed by 50 dancers.

Six cases of coxarthrosis were found, significantly more than expected in the general population. In addition, there were four cases of tibio-femoral arthrosis, six of knee osteophytosis, four of patellofemoral arthrosis, three of chondrocalcinosis ...

Adaptation to repeated standing-slips in professional ballet dancers.
Journal of Biomechanics, 2023Ballet training is being increasingly used to improve physical functions in older adults. Our previous work showed that ballet dancers react to a novel standing-slip more effectively than their non-dancer counterparts through better control of the ...

Activation in professional ballet dancers
Physiology & Behavior, 1988The purpose of the study was to examine professional ballet dancers' psychophysiological activation in different types of rehearsal and performance. Electrical activity of the trapezius muscle (EMG), blood pressure, heart rate, and skin conductance level were measured. Self-estimated mental tension was evaluated, as was success in the performance.
