Search Strategy[edit | edit source]

The first step of my search strategy was consulting the VUB library website. Then I searched the Pubmed database typing the keywords: Baastrup Syndrome, kissing spines, treatment. When I clicked on free full texts, the amount of results was eleven. Of those eleven articles, only one had and abstract and link to free full text. The following step was reading the full article of which the abstract was interesting for my subject. Because I didn't find exactly what I hoped for I went to Web of Science for a second search. I typed the same keywords and found an eligible article.

Definition/Description[edit | edit source]

Named after Christian Ingerslev Baastrup, a Danish radiologist (1855-1950), the Baastrup syndrome, also know as ‘kissing spines’ is a common injury in dancers . It results from adjacent spinous processes mostly in the lumbar spine rubbing against each other and resulting in pain. Most common at the level of L4-L5.

Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]

Where the spinous processes touch each other when the low back is in hyperlordosis is a result of the forced hip turning technique when dancing. This technique is a turnout. It is an external rotation of the hip, causing the knee and foot to turn outward, away from the center of the body. In dancers, kissing spines commonly affects the lower lumbar vertebra.
It can also be caused when the thoracic spine or the thoracolumbar transition is stiff the result is…. . The Baastrup syndrome is only one aspect or symptom that can appear in other disorders and has some risk factors attached. Especially during extension of the lumbar spine can the spinous processes touch, which can cause irritation of the inter-spinal ligament . When the rotation and lateral flexion is examined, they find that it is a sensitive movement and flexion in the least painful of all .
