prevalence and risk factors of Dance Injury during covid 19 a cross sectional study from university students in china
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021Co-Authors: Yanan Dang, Yiannis Koutedakis, Rouling Chen, Matthew A WyonAbstract:Objectives: Although coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has transformed the training environment of Dancers worldwide, little is known on how this has affected Injury prevalence, causes, and risk factors. Methods: An online investigation involving Chinese full-time Dance students was conducted (September-November 2020), which covered two 6-month periods just before and during the first COVID-19 lockdown. Results: 2086 students (19 ± 2.4 years) responded to the investigation. Injury prevalence dropped from 39.6% (before the lockdown) to 16.5% (during the lockdown) (p < 0.01). It was noted that a significant increase in Injury severity during the lockdown was caused due to a 4.1% increase in moderate-to-severe injuries (p < 0.05). During the lockdown, the injuries on the lower back, feet, and shoulders decreased significantly (p < 0.01), but the knee, ankle, and groin/hip joint injuries remained the same. Fatigue and the recurrence of an old Injury remained as the top two perceived causes of an Injury between the two periods with the increase in an unsuitable floor (p < 0.01), a cold environment (p < 0.05), and set/props (p < 0.05). The fatigue degree of students decreased (p < 0.01) and their hours of sleep increased (p < 0.01) during the lockdown. Binary Logistic Regression analysis indicated that Dance Injury is associated with fatigue, the hours of sleep, and the actions taken if they suspect an Injury during the lockdown (p < 0.05), but is only related to the time set aside for a cooldown and age before the lockdown period (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Although Injury prevalence dropped significantly during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Chinese Dance students, the main Dance Injury characteristics remained the same. Decreased fatigue and longer hours of sleep could explain the aforementioned drop in Injury prevalence during the lockdown.

Injury incidence and severity in musical theatre Dance students 5 year prospective study
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2021Co-Authors: Nicola Stephens, Alan M Nevill, Matthew A WyonAbstract:Dance Injury research has mainly focused on ballet and modern Dance with little data on musical theatre Dancers. The purpose was to assess the incidence and severity of injuries in a musical theatre Dance college over a 5-year period; 198 pre-professional musical theatre Dancers (3 cohorts on a 3-year training course) volunteered for the study; 21 students left the course over the study period. Injury aetiology data were collected by an in-house physiotherapy team. Differences between academic year and sex were analysed using a Poisson distribution model; significant difference was set at p≤0.05. In total, 913 injuries were recorded, and more injuries occurred in academic year 1 than year 2 and 3. Overall Injury incidence was 1.46 injuries per 1000 hours (95% CI 1.34, 1.56); incidence significantly decreased between year 1, 2 and 3 (p<0.05). There was no significant sex difference for incidence or severity. Most injuries were classified as overuse (71% female, 67% male). Pre-professional musical theatre Dancers report a high proportion of lower limb and overuse injuries comparable to other Dance genres. Unlike other studies on pre-professional Dancers, Injury incidence and severity decreased with academic year, even though workload increased across the course.

risk factors for lower extremity injuries in female ballet Dancers a systematic review
Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine, 2018Co-Authors: Jessica L Biernacki, Andrea Stracciolini, Joana Fraser, Lyle J Micheli, Dai SugimotoAbstract:Background Ballet Dancers have a high prevalence of injuries to the lower extremity. Many studies have investigated the relationship between Dance Injury and risk factors. However, risk factors for lower-extremity Injury comparing recreational- and elite-level ballet Dancers are scarce. Objective To systematically review available original studies to assess risk factors for lower-extremity Injury in female ballet Dancers between recreational and elite ballet Dancers. Data sources Five online databases [Web of Science, PubMed, OVID (Medline), EBSCO, and ProQuest] were searched systematically. Study selection Included studies had an analytic study design published in the past 11 years and investigated an association between potential risk factors and lower-extremity Injury in female ballet Dancers. Study appraisal Assessed independently by 2 reviewers using the Downs and Black (DB) criteria and Oxford Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine. Results Seventeen studies were included. Alignment was a risk factor for lower-extremity Injury in both recreational and elite ballet Dancers. In elite ballet Dancers, poor lumbopelvic movement control, inappropriate transversus abdominis contraction, decreased lower-extremity strength, and poor aerobic fitness were risk factors for lower-extremity Injury. In recreational ballet Dancers, hypermobility of the hip and ankle and longer training hours were risk factors for lower-extremity Injury. Mean DB score was 15.94 (SD 1.57). The majority of studies were retrospective cohort studies or had poor follow-up, with 7 level 2b studies, 6 level 3b studies (cross-sectional), and 4 level 1b studies (prospective cohort with good follow-up). Conclusions Alignment was identified as a common risk factor for recreational and elite ballet Dancers. Other risk factors differed between recreational ballet Dancers and elite ballet Dancers. Future studies are warranted to use a prospective study design, identify Dance level-specific risk factors, and implement evidence-based prevention strategies.

etiology and body area of injuries in young female Dancers presenting to sports medicine clinic a comparison by age group
Journal of Dance Medicine & Science, 2016Co-Authors: Andrea Stracciolini, Amy X Yin, Dai SugimotoAbstract:Abstract Introduction. Improving knowledge regarding injuries sustained by pediatric Dancers is important in order to better understand Injury risk. The aim of this study is to analyze Dance Injury etiology and body area by age in a cohort of young female Dancers presenting to a pediatric sports/Dance medicine clinic. Methods. The cross-sectional epidemiological study of a 5% probability sample of Dancers evaluated between 1/1/2000 and 12/31/2009 with a musculoskeletal Injury requiring physician evaluation. A total of 2,133 charts were reviewed from which 171 female Dancers 8–17 years old (mean age 14.7 years) were identified. Data were stratified by age, <12 years and ≥12 years, and analyzed based on Injury body area, type, and etiology. Fisher’s exact test was used to determine statistical significance. Results. Injuries sustained by Dancers in the younger age category (<12 years) were largely to the foot-ankle/lower leg/knee (93.3%) versus thigh-hip/spine/upper extremity (6.7%). In comparison, Dancers ...
