In a six-year follow-up study, the self-reported musculoskeletal pain in professional ballet dancers was investigated. Fifty-one (72%) dancers, working in professional companies on both occasions participated in the study. The high prevalence of pain among the dancers was on both occasions dominated by problems in the back (69% and 82% respectively) and feet (73% and 82%). Pain reported some time during the preceding 12 months increased significantly only in the upper back region, while incapacitating pain decreased for the same region (p <0.05). Recurrent pain was reported by 90% of dancers. Our results indicate that about every third dancer experiences recurrent incapacitating pain, with 75% set off by a previous major injury. In spite of an increased workload, and getting older, ballet dancers are not necessarily more prone to incapacitating pain, rather the opposite seems true. It is speculated that the right training facilities within the theater seem to be important to keep the dancers dancing. |
