Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on pre-professional female adolescent dancers to examine the prevalence of delayed bone maturation and menstrual cycle irregularities, as well as their potential links to low back pain (LBP).
- - Findings revealed that while many dancers experienced delayed bone maturation (32%) or menstrual cycle issues (53%), these conditions were not linked to LBP; however, those with a history of LBP started dancing at a younger age and had noticeable hip rotation differences.
- - The conclusion emphasized that while certain physical impairments were common among the dancers, only early dance training, hip asymmetry, and reduced internal hip rotation were significantly associated with the occurrence of LBP.
