Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the reliability of a ballet-based screening tool used to assess dance techniques by physical therapists (PTs) and student physical therapists (SPTs).
- Video recordings of 10 dancers performing specific dance moves were analyzed by 28 raters, achieving high inter-rater reliability (ICC=0.98) for assessments, while intra-rater reliability showed PTs were more consistent than SPTs.
- The findings support the use of this standardized instrument for dance technique assessments, which can help identify technique issues and inform injury prevention strategies for dancers.
