Article Synopsis
- Excessive forces during ballet landings can lead to overuse injuries, highlighting the need for effective injury prevention strategies.
- Traditional force platforms are impractical for testing outside labs, but a wearable accelerometer may provide an alternative method for assessing landing forces.
- A study found strong correlations between impact accelerations measured by the accelerometer and peak landing forces, suggesting the device can effectively monitor changes in landing forces, especially as dancers fatigue.
