| Abstract
|
:
|
"The amount of injury among dancers is a matter of direct concern to dancers themselves, their teachers, medical advisers and company directors. It should be of equal concern to choreographers who are making increasing demands on the dancer's physique and stamina." "The cause of injury may be a simple accident but is frequently a fault in technique that has not been identified at an early stage, or a variation in physique where the implications have not been understood." "While prevention is obviously preferable, appropriate treatment is vital and not always easy to find. A special kind of medical treatment is required that takes proper account of the dancer's needs." "The book has been thoroughly checked and revised for this edition, with a new section of strenghtening exercises. There are five sections: Anatomy and Physiology, without which nothing can be understood; Injuries: Pathology, Causes, Treatment, Prevention, which describes injuries in general; Specific Injuries; their Cause and Treatment; Strengthening Exercises, which consists of sequences of photographs; and Technical Faults and Anatomical Variations; their Causes, Consequences and Treatment, which firmly relates injury to technical faults and describes how to treat the faults, including incorrect weight placement."--Jacket.
