Resumen

MARQUEZ ARABIA, Jorge Jaime; MARQUEZ ARABIA, William Henry  y  GOMEZ HOYOS, Juan Carlos. Injuries in ballet dancers. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.1, pp.109-122. ISSN 0864-215X.

Ballet is a sport that is being practiced frequently. Dancers are exposed to sport injuries and have predisposing factors for them. For that reason, we made a literature review to show a general approach of risk factors, incidence of injuries and their distribution in ballet dancers. There are several risk factors for injuries such as arch movement, anatomic anomalies, dancing techniques, dancing discipline and postural stability. About the 50 % of dancers present injuries each year and the majority of them are adolescents. The most frequent ones occur as a result of overuse and are mainly located in the lower extremities. We conclude that they need a special attention as occupational group, more information about risk factors and that there should be more possibilities to design prevention programs on this respect.

Palabras clave : ballet; sport injuries; incidence; risk factors.
