INTRODUCTION: preprofessional dance training starts at very early ages, on a
highly demanding environment placing students at significant risk for injury.
Injury management and prevention are a matter of concern. Given the constant
interchangeability of risk factors, identifying injury patterns may prove to be
equally as important. Data looking back from the time of injury through
context-specific approaches are missing.
OBJECTIVES: To identify activity-related injury patterns based on prediagnostic
data.
METHODS: Prospective, non-randomized, observational study, over a 3 years period
on a full-time preprofessional dance school featuring both gender students aged
9-21 years old. Non-parametric statistics were used.
RESULTS: A total of 625 dance injury records from 209 students, n = 68 males and
n = 141 females, were analyzed. Season injury risk probability was identified,
proving different for each skill level (SkL). Multiple individual injuries
revealed a trend toward prevalence rates in advanced level, while index injuries
incidence becomes more noticeable in entry level students. Overall incidence
rates had no significant differences within SkL. Anatomical location was in line
with previous research, although differences were found between gender and SkL.
Most injuries occurred in classes, with jumps standing out as the main motor
action associated with injury symptoms of gradual onset mechanism.
CONCLUSION: Dance injuries happen because of dance practice. Knowing the context
of injury history from the injured dancer perspective is determinant for
management and prevention. prediagnostic data are an umbrella term encompassing
several aspects of injury background and represents fertile ground for research.
Context-specific methodological approaches are recommended.
