Abstract

Dancing population has been increaseing in Taiwan for the past 15years, but report of studing dance injuries are still few. Eighty-one theatrical dancing students (Male 18, Female 63 ) at National Institute of the Arts and Chinese Culture university were diagnosed and followed in our OPD to study the patterns, severity & mechanisms of dance injuries. A total of 260injuries in the students were reported. We found that the major injury sites by rate were back: 23.46%;ankle: 22.3%;knee: 21.45%; foot:9.23%; hip & thight: 9.6%; other site including: leg, shoulder, elbow, wrist were 14.2%. Approximately three fourths of the dancerelated injuries involved the low limb due to repeated impact loading of these sites. However the injures can almost be treated only with conservative measures Some congenital & aquired abnomalities which might predispose injuries were hluteal contracture:9.87%; leg length discrepancy: 1.23%; scoliosis: 3.7%; pes planus: 1.23%. Twelve students among 52 examed EKG showed the abnormal finding. The correlation between proper times for begining dance and injury rate were studied. Further follow-up for the clinical significance is necessary. Only 23 students had the experience of getting management from chinese herb doctor, chiropractors, & masseurs. The common medical knowledge about athletic injuries for the dancers should be emphasized.
