Introduction[edit | edit source]
85% of dancers will have some form of musculoskeletal injury during career and approximately 50% occur in the ankle or foot. Even injuries higher up in the chain will have an effect on the lower limb. The foot is essential to a dancer as it it their base of support and the fundamental lever to propel in dynamic manoeuvres. It is an important shock absorber and offers the ballet dancer one of their essential forms of artistic expression.
The incidence of injuries in dancers varies from 40% to 84%. These being mostly caused by low cardiovascular conditioning, articular hyper mobility, postural deviation, alteration in the body’s center of balance[1]
“realized with amateur dancers, it shows that for each 1000 hours of training, the injuries incidence diagnosed was from 0.62 to 5.6 injuries per dancers. Bearing in mind that the technical demand for a professional dancers is even higher, it is considered that this number increases drastically into the professional contest”[1]
Acute vs Overuse Injuries[edit | edit source]
- Acute
- Often attributed to poor technique and incorrect execution of jumps and landing
- Dancer usually has an incident to report
- Many other contributing factors such as tiredness, fatigue or loss of balance
- Overuse
- Excessive use
- Repeated microtrauma
Risk Factors[edit | edit source]
- Previous injuries
- Poor rehabilitation
- Anatomical posture
- Poor training resulting in poor muscular strength[2]
- Poor lumbopelvic control[3]
- Technical mistakes[2]
- Execution speed[2]
- Choreographer
- Dance style
- Shoe fit and style
- Floor type[1][4]
Additional Contributing Factors[edit | edit source]
- Transitioning from part time to professional dancer[5]
- The foot can affect the knee, hip, core musculature and spine
- Lack of turnout
- Biomechanical requirements of pointe and demipointe which require full plantarflexion with 90 degrees metatarsal phalangeal joint extension [3]
- Floor type[1][4]
- The dancers body and their management
- Psychology and expectations of dancers
- Decreased triceps surae (Gastrocs and Soleus) and Posterior Tibialis strength[6]
- Decreased plantar flexion active range of motion [6]
Muscle weakness often results in:
- Rolling in and out of the ankles (Increased ankle inversion/eversion)
- Decreased stability en pointe
- Decreased plantar flexion range of motion
Anterior Ankle Injuries[edit | edit source]
- Anterior bone spurs
- Often found in mature or retired dancers
- Tibial stress syndrome[7]
- Tibial stress fracture
- Anterior ligament and tendon pathology
- Commonly in the Extensor Hallucus Longus tendon from trying to improve point, injuries surrounding ligaments and long-term instability
- Anterior capsule synovitis
- Anterior impingement
Anterior Impingement Syndrome[edit | edit source]
- Aggravated by repetitive forced dorsiflexion (Plie)
- Symptoms are generally progressive in nature
- Treatment
- Educate the dancer on correct stretching, focus on strengthening intrinsic and extrinsic musculature
- Address biomechanical faults and look higher up for compensations or weakness
- Mulligan Mobilisation with movement, Passive Accessory Movement, Chair Ankle Rocker
- Often responsive to conservative treatment.
- Surgery is effective if condition has progressed far enough[8]
- Ballet specific considerations
- Dance movements contributing are the plie, forcing turnout and rolling ankles
- Compensation is seen with a dancer lifting up heel earlier in a plie
Posterior Ankle Injuries[edit | edit source]
- Posterior Ankle Impingement Syndrome
- Achilles tendinopathy[9]
- The prevalence of this injury in dancers is due to releves, jumps, turns, and pointe work
- Can be caused by tying ribbons incorrectly across achilles tendon or from hard floors.
- A contributing factor is often changing of a choreographer, especially when they advocate for a high jumping routine.
Posterior Ankle Impingement Syndrome[edit | edit source]
- Often referred to as Dancers heel
- Aggravated by forced plantarflexion and often coincides with FHL tendinopathy
- Symptoms are
- C/O pain and tenderness on the posterolateral aspect of the ankle on active plantar-flexion. Pain is exacerbated with axial loading as well as with great toe dorsiflexion as FHL pushes against the ossicles over its groove along the talus
- Treatment
- Ballet specific considerations
- biomechanics check - plie, grand plie, releve
- stretch - hams, adductors, tib A, calves
- strengthen - glutes, hamstrings, adductors, abductors
- rehab- mobility crawls, isometric Single leg heel raise, eccentric single leg heel lowering
PAIS in Ballet[7]
- In some sports - required periodically and suddenly in a passive manner (by external force, e.g., soccer during certain forms of kicking) or briefly in an active manner (e.g., gymnastics and other artistic sports),
- In Ballet - required in a controlled, persistent, extreme, active, and fully weightbearing manner.
- When kicking a ball, the talo-crural and subtalar joints are non-weightbearing; hence, there is no tendency for the talus (talo-crurally) and calcaneus (subtalarly) to slide posteriorly and add to the impingement. Second, when kicking, the calcaneus is not pulled up by the triceps surae. That this is important is biomechanically logical and is illustrated by the fact that in PAIS testing (plantar flexion test) the pain will mainly be provoked if the calcaneus is pressed up simultaneous
Lateral Ankle Injuries[edit | edit source]
- Lateral ankle sprains[11]
- Cuboid subluxation issues
- Rotational strain to bone following other issues
- Sinus tarsi
- Peroneal tendon overuse and retinaculum stress
Lateral Ankle Sprain[edit | edit source]
- Aggravated by weak Triceps Surae (Gastrocs and Soleus) and Posterior Tibialis strength
- Symptoms are
- Treatment
- Educate the dancer on
- Ballet specific considerations
- Dancer relies on feedback and stability from lateral lig[11]
- biomechanics check – first position pile, releve, passe. Alignment[9] in demipointe or pointe
- stretch - hams, quads, adductors, iliopsoas, calves
- Strengthen - glutes, dorsiflexors, everters
- rehab- aggressive strengthening and proprioception, side plank tbd clamshell, SLB tap front around to back, resisted PF with eversion
Toe Injuries[edit | edit source]
- Hallux Valgus
- Hallux Riditis
- Bunions
- Strengthening intrinsic foot muscles
- Correct alignment and toe spacers
- Sesmoiditis
- Metatarsalgia
- 5th metatarsal fracture/ Dancers fracture/lisfrank fracture
- Hammer toe
- Blisters
- Ingrown toe nails
Hallux Rigidis[edit | edit source]
- Associated with the FHL[12] = primary dynamic stabiliser of medial ankle in pointe and demi pointe
- Aggravated by knuckling under (excessive interphalangeal joint flexion compensation)
- Symptoms are
- Treatment
- Educate the dancer on
- Ballet specific considerations
- Biomechanics check - parallel, first position, passe
- stretch -iliopsoas, quads, adductors, calves
- Strengthen - glutes, hamstrings, adductors, abductors
- rehab-toe/ankle rocker w toe spacer, big toe flexion and extension, isometric theraband toe abduction, curl/flex with theraband, toe abduction, toe separation
Sesmoiditis[edit | edit source]
- Aggravated by
- Embedded within the FHB tendon and articulate with the plantar surface of the first metatarsal head
- Technical errors – rolling in, pronation, forcing turnout
- Collapsed arches = more pressure on sesmoids
- Agg – Taking off and landing jumps esp without plie, rolling into Releve/demi pointe (more stressful than en pointe), walking with toe out gait/ in turn out
- Symptoms are
- Function – stabilise first MTPJ and improve power of the FHB tendon
- SX – pain under first MT head on plantar forefoot, tenderness should move distally with DF of great toe
- Treatment
- Educate the dancer on
- RX – padding to off-load area, use of stif soled shoes outside class (more support), assess and correct alignment, takes months to resolve
- Ballet specific considerations
- stretch - hams, glutes, adductors, roll calves
- Strengthen - glutes, hams, adductors, iliopsoas, intrinsic foot muscles
- rehab- tbd clamshells, foam roll ball squeeze leg lowering, prone hamstring curl to hip extension
5th Metatarsal Fracture[edit | edit source]
- Often referred to as a Dancers Fracture
- Aggravated by
- Symptoms are twisting injury, differentiate to jones fracture (occurs further down the base, repetitive stress = surgery
- Treatment
- non –operative
- Educate the dancer on
- Ballet specific considerations
- stretch -hams, glutes, iliopsoas, adductors, roll calves
- Strengthen - glutes, hams, adductors, iliopsoas
- rehab-side plank hip adduction, foam roll quadruped donkey kicks, quadruped car wheel
Plantar Fasciitis[edit | edit source]
- Aggravated by This injury is often associated with repetitive jumping which is why it has such a high prevalence in dancers[9].
- Symptoms
- Heel pain with first steps in the morning
- Heel pain after long periods of non-weight bearing
- Tenderness to the anterior medial heel
- Limited dorsiflexion and tight achilles tendon
- A limp may be present or may have a preference to toe walking
- Pain is usually worse when barefoot on hard surfaces and with stair climbing
- Treatment: Conservative measures are the first choice
- Physiotherapy
- Rest from offending activity
- Ice after activity
- Deep friction massage of the arch and insertion.
- Shoe inserts or orthotics and night splints
- Extracorporeal shock-wave therapy[13] , botulinum toxin A, autologous platelet-rich plasma, dex prolotherapy, or steroid injections.
- Advanced and invasive techniques should be combined with conservative therapy
- Surgery should be the last option if this process has become chronic and other less invasive therapies have failed
- Educate the dancer on proper stretching and rehab of the: Plantar fascia; Achilles' tendon; Gastrocnemius and Soleus.
- Ballet specific considerations
- biomechanics check - plie, developpe, gait
- stretch -iliopsoas, quads, adductors, calves
- Strengthen -glutes, abductors, deep rotators
- rehab- chair SL bridges, SL heel raises on stairs, ankle/toe rockers, strapping
For more specific physio treatment options please see Plantar Fasciitis page
Foot and Ankle Care[edit | edit source]
- POINTEWORK SHOULD BE PROGRESSED SLOWLY AND ONLY COMMENCED ONCE READY/SCREENED
- FOOT ALIGNMENT SHOULD BE MONITORED THROUGHOUT THE JUMPING SECTION WITH NO UNDUE PRONATION OF THE FOREFOOT
- SIMPLE BALANCE EXERCISES SHOULD BE INCLUDED
- INTRINSIC FOOT EXERCISES
- CALF EXERCISES AND STRETCHED
- WALK WITH NORMAL ANGLE OF GAIT TO OFFLOAD HIP ROTATORS, ie, not in turned out position
