Abstract: | All forms of dance are highly demanding activities, with a lifetime injury incidence of up to 90%. Most dance types are stressful, particularly on the dancer's forefoot, but certainly there is no area of the foot or ankle that is exempt from potential injury. Dancers often have unusual difficulties related to the dynamic biomechanical forces required by their individual dance form. A thorough understanding of these movements guides the physician to the cause of the injury, particularly in understanding specific overuse injuries. This article discusses biomechanics of the foot and the imaging and treatment of dance-related injuries. |
