Kinematic analysis of the gait in professional ballet dancers

Original language description

Background: A ballet position places high stress on the dancer's body and influences the mobility of the lower limb joints. This leads to overloading of the musculoskeletal system of the dancers. Objective: The aim of this study was to observe the differences in the gait pattern between ballet dancers and non-dancers. Methods: In this research we compared thirteen professional ballet dancers (5 males, 8 females; age 24.1 +- 3.8 years; height 170.2 +- 8.5 cm; weight 58.3 +- 11.2 kg) with twelve controls(3 males, 9 females; mean age 24.3 +- 2.75 years; height 173.3 +- 6.01 cm; weight 72.2 +- 12.73 kg). Each participant performed five trials of the gait at self-selected walking speed. Kinematic data was obtained using the Vicon MX system. Mann-Whitney Utest (p { .05) was applied for comparing the dancers and the controls. Results: Significant differences (p { .05) were found in greater hip extension (-15.30 +- 3.31° vs. -12.95 +- 6.04°; p = .008) and hip abduction (-9.18 +- 5.89° vs. -6
