Abstract

This study is purpose to provide dancers with basic data for preventing injury and preparing for countermeasures for dancer and dancer instructors by studying injury frequency, injury cause and treatment. In order to present index for coping with foot injury during performance of dance for each major and help extend their roles as special dancers, a survey of the whole grade of 127 high school dance majors (Korean dance, modern dancer and ballet) in Kwangju Metropolitan except 12 ones has found conclusions as follows. First, in analyzing the actual injure conditions for each career, high school students are injured most during the first 6 months. In case of career less than 3 year career, injured cases count for 49% of the whole ones. Therefore, beginners seem to be injured a lot because they are unskill for dance poses and motions. Secondly, in analyzing injured parts for each dance major, foot joint sprain are the most in all majors. For each major, the frequency is in order of foot joint sprain and Achilles's tendon injure in Korean dance, foot joint sprain and skin injure in modern dance and foot joint sprain, Achilles's tendon injure and skin injure in ballet. Thirdly, for injure causes of each major, there are mental causes such as stress, bad condition, conflict with another students, facilities such practice room temperature, dancing room floor, shoes and personal carelessness such as insufficient dancing technique, exercise and physical strength. For a method of medical treatment, some students treat themselves, not going to Oriental medicine clinic or orthopedic surgery. 30% of them spend three days being treated, and 70% leave the injured parts as it is, so that treatment period and injure are worse. For the treatment period after injure, 31% of them is less than a week, 12.2% is more than one month. In addition, 79% are not treated regularly and 54% are treated incompletely. Consequently, continuous exercises without treating injured parts seem to lead to chronic treatment. Finally, the basic injure prevention and countermeasure and training for treatment with regard to foot injury of dance majors are insufficient, and exposure to injure risk is so wide. For preventive measures for this, it is necessary for dance majors to know the potential injure of each motion, their body management and condition, and for dance instructors to recognize and be trained active injure prevention and the importance of treatment.
