Resumo(s)
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.
