Development of a Multidimensional Pain Questionnaire in Professional Dance (MPQDA): a pilot study.

Background: Pain is part of the everyday life of professional dancers. It can indicate health risks and impair the ability to work. Suitable screening tools can be used to identify pain and its risk potential.

Lumbar movement control in non-specific chronic low back pain: Evaluation of a direction-specific battery of tests using item response theory.

Question: What tests are most useful to identify poor lumbar movement control (LMC) and what are the dimensional and psychometric properties of these tests?

Design: Multicenter, cross-sectional cohort study.

Participants: Adults with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP).

Methods: A literature review was conducted to identify LMC tests with good reliability (κ≥ 0.

Determinants of Pain Intensity in Physical Education Teachers Focusing on Dance Teachers: A Cross-Sectional Study.

(1) Background: Dance teachers (DT) are dependent on their functional body. Pain can hardly be avoided during the professional practice of dance. Pain can become so intense that it impairs, or even prevents, the professional practice.

Determinants of pain occurrence in dance teachers.

Objectives: Dance teachers are strongly dependent on their functional body in their professional practice. As yet, it has largely been unclear whether the musculoskeletal system is endangered by a dance teaching activity. Pain can be a warning signal for a health hazard.
