Dance screen programs and development of dance clinics.
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.
