Abstract

Many people think of ballet as being an aesthetic and harmless dance form. But dancers pay a heavy price for their art. The early training of the young dancer is very strenuous and brings abnormal stresses to particularly the lower extremities and feet. This may result in injuries pathologically not different from those in sports but differing in etiology and significance. An this study we aimed to determine the adaptive changes that take place in the young dancers' feet to cope with these stresses and prevent injuries. Radiographs of 49 ballet students training in the state conservatory were evaluated for adaptive changes in the bone cortex. Cortical hypertrophy was seen in especially the 2 nd, 3 rd and 1 st metatarsal bones in various degrees. It was noted that these changes take place earlier in girls and that the severity of the changes are parallel to the duration of training. We concluded that these asymptomatic changes are the result of chronic strain in the lower extremity and that they are protective against stress fractures.

Abstract

Bale, seyredenler için estetik ve serafetin doruk noktası olan bir dans formudur. Ancak bale eğitimi özellik-te alt ekstremiteler ve ayaklar için zorlu ve yıpratıcı çalışmalar gerektirir. Biz bu çalışmada erken yaştan itiba-ren ağır bir egzersiz temposuna giren bale öğrencilenmn ayakiannda meydana glen adaptiv değişiklikleri incelemeyi amaçladık. Konservatuarda bale eğitimi gören 49 öğrencinin çift yönlü ayak radyografilerinde kemik korteksinde meydana gelen değişiklikleri gözlemledik. Öğrencilerde özellikle 2. 3 ve 1. metatarslarda değişik derecelerde kortikal hipertrofi tescil ettik. Bu değişikliklerin kızlarda dana erken ortaya çıkığını ve bale eğitimi süresi ile paralel olarak arttığını gördük. Asemptomatik olan bu değişikliklerin özellikle ait ekstremite üzerindeki ağır fiziksel strese sağlı döngü ve stres fraktürlerine karşı koruyucu olduğu sonucuna vardık.
