title: Dance screen programs and development of dance clinics.
abstract: Dance movements can be stressful to the body, and the required extreme positions may place physiologic structures at risk for acute, subacute, or chronic injury. The authors designed a screening program, conducted by a team of physical therapists, orthopedists, and dance instructors, to evaluate dancers for musculoskeletal problems and to make recommendations that would improve movement compensation, strength, endurance, and mobility.
