“…Differences between Healthy and Injured groups’ scores suggest that DFOS differentiates functional state. The breakdown of frequencies of injuries by body region was similar to those reported in professional and pre-professional modern dance and ballet 8 13 16 21 39 40 . Future study of responsiveness will determine whether DFOS sensitivity reflects change with functional recovery following injury.…”

The Dance Functional Outcome Survey (DFOS) was developed as a self-report questionnaire for healthy and injured ballet and modern dancers, focusing on the low back and lower extremities. Our aim was to determine factor analysis and internal consistency of the 16 items and to investigate test-retest and equivalence reliability and validity of the DFOS compared to three orthopedic outcomes instruments. Data were collected from 80 healthy and injured adult ballet and modern pre-professional and professional dancers. DFOS Likert-type and visual analog scales were completed twice within 4–9 days to study test-retest reliability. The Cincinnati Knee Rating System, Olerud and Molander Foot-Ankle Questionnaire, and Oswestry Disability Index were used to assess concurrent validity using intraclass correlation coefficients in SPSS, p<0.05. To determine instrument dimensions and internal consistency of the items, we conducted exploratory factor analysis and calculated Cronbach’s α in JASP. DFOS demonstrated single factor loading and high Cronbach’s α; high test-retest repeatability and equivalence reliability ( r =0.74–0.99) and acceptable criterion validity compared to the orthopedic outcomes instruments (r≥0.67). These results support further study of a revised 14 item Likert-version DFOS for repeatability, validity and responsiveness.

“…All studies included in this literature review investigated injury occurrence among modern, hip-hop or break dancers. Six of them looked at modern dancers (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19), two investigated injuries in break dance (20,21) and only one paper addressed hip-hop dance (22). The research design, number of participants, main outcome measures and conclusions of all nine studies are summarised in Table 1 (prospective studies) and Table 2 (retrospective studies).…”

“…The most common injuries were to joints and ligaments (49%) (19); 28% suffered sustained muscle or tendon strains (18) (29% of injuries (19)); and 21% of injuries involved dancers suffering from tendinitis or bursitis (18). Bronner and Bauer (14) discovered that hypermobility and hypomobility, previous injuries and poor dance-control technique contributed to injury occurrence. Fatigue and a lack of warm-up were also common risk factors for injuries (22).…”

“…An injury prevention programme is effective in reducing injury-related costs and promoting dancers' health and well-being in a modern dance company. In four studies, the authors retrospectively examined injury occurrence, and their location, severity and correlation with demographic and dance characteristics (18,(20)(21)(22); Jacobs et al (16) compared injuries in modern dance and ballet in a cross-sectional study; three studies were prospective cohort studies (14,15,17); and one study retrospectively reported injuries and then prospectively investigated the effect of comprehensive management intervention on injury incidence and cost (19). The prevalence of injury is high in professional dancers.…”

AbstractIntroductionDance-related injuries have become a field of great interest to researchers, with the most commonly reported injuries being those sustained by ballet dancers. However, there is a lack of research into injuries sustained by those who perform modern and hip-hop dance.MethodsA systematic literature review using the MEDLINE research database was performed and a search carried out for full-text studies that investigate injuries in modern and hip-hop dance.ResultsWhile a total of 74 hits were obtained from various searches, only nine studies were included in the systematic literature review. Six of them examined modern dancers, two examined break dancers and one examined hip-hop dancers. The results show that hip-hop dancers (and especially break dancers) sustain more injuries in comparison to modern dancers. The most common injuries are in the lower extremities, with studies revealing that overuse injuries occur in up to 71% of cases.ConclusionsThe injury incidence rate in hip-hop dance seems to be higher compared to modern dance, chiefly because of the more demanding biomechanics involved and the dance techniques employed. Prevention management can have a positive effect on the number of injuries.
