Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: The health issues of dancers are well intentioned of consideration for many reasons and musculoskeletal problems and pain are two important factors which alters the dancers dance career specifically in foot and ankle region due to obvious use. Hence foot and ankle assessment becomes mandatory to avoid further injuries and complications and as there is dire dearth of literature pertaining to the comparison between classical and western dancers foot posture, ankle proprioception and pain,hence the present study was conducted. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate foot posture, ankle proprioception, and pain in classical and western dancers. Methods and Materials: primary data collection was done from dancing schools and studios using convenience sampling. 55 classical and 55 western dancers between the age group of 15 to 25 were included using inclusion criteria and were assessed for foot posture index 6 and visual analogue scale for foot posture and pain respectively and subjected to a clinical test objective joint position sense for ankle proprioception. Result: Foot posture index for both foot were highly significant in between two groups with a p value of < 0.005.classical dancers have more pronated foot when compared to western dancers, similarly pain is also significant in classical when compared to western dancers. Conclusion: the study concludes that there is significant change in foot posture of classical dancers and pain was more observed in classical dancers than western dancers and there was no adequate loss of proprioception in ankle joint in classical as well as western dancers.
