Abstract: Classical ballet involves the performance of complex movements that require high-level motor skills and good postural control. This study explored postural sway in passé en demi-pointe position in dancers and compared single-leg standing sway (with and without visual restriction) between dancers and non-dancers. Fourteen professional dancers and 14 sex- and age-matched volunteers who were not ballet dancers participated in the study. Participants stood on a force plate on the dominant leg in the following posi… Show more

“…But is it for real or hiding it is a crucial aspect of the skill? The problem is that it is difficult to assess specific balance skills in dancers during performance of ballet movements, with the exception of tasks of limited difficulty like balancé displacement s [ 44 ] or passé demi pointe [ 45 ]. Therefore, only a few studies have discussed this subject in the framework of biomechanical analysis.…”

“…One strength of our study was the use of stabilometry in a new way, comparing ballet-specific static positions for determining ankle injury effects. We found just two studies that examined ballet-specific positions; one examined the single-leg retiré position [37] and the other the passé en demi-pointe position [24]. However, neither of the studies focused on post-injury athletes.…”

“…In order to determine the sample size of the study, we carried out an a-priori power analysis on the basis of the scientific literature. Since our main outcome was to determine if there was a difference in monopodalic stance ellipse area between healthy and previously pathological ballet dancers, we used data from the 2017 paper by de Mello et al [24]. With a reported monopodalic ellipse area in ballet dancers of 155 ± 64 mm 2 and an expected difference of 70 mm 2 (effect size = 1.1), we calculated that we would need a sample of 22 subjects (11 for each group) to detect a significant change with a power of 0.80 and an alpha of 0.05.…”

“…The effect of Kinesio taping on time to stabilization during jump landing has not been previously reported in ballet dancers. Research findings indicate a link between ankle injury and subsequent deficits in balance, which is important to the ballet dancer when performing complex movements that require jumping and landing [1,[15][16][17].…”
