Possibilities of influencing functional movement disorders of the locomotive apparatus in ballet girls of 6-20 years of age using physiotherapy inputs.
MUNDUCHOVÁ, Andrea
As highly trained individuals, ballet dancers deal with demanding dance training and specific positions which require special skills and may not be performed properly. This often results in imbalances and their further development, potentially leading to injuries. Due to highly demanding performance of this sport, they are forced to end their careers at a young age. Not only for this reason, regeneration and compensation tools use should be integrated in both their ballet and everyday lives. The goals of this bachelor thesis involve evaluation of the strict ballet posture in specific ballet positions regarding the physiological body posture, evaluation of most common imbalances in ballet dancers and a proposal of several kinesiotherapy and physiotherapy methods to prevent disbalance development. The theoretical part of the thesis includes basic information on ballet and ballet dancer requirements. Rules of the ballet body posture in comparison to the physiological body posture are then described. The thesis further involves basic anatomy description of the spine and upper and lower limbs, supplemented with most common imbalances in these parts and therapy possibilities. In the practical part, the method involves a qualitative research of three individuals, each of them of a different age and a different time they have practiced the ballet. All three subjects have shown signs of locomotive apparatus imbalances. The resulting information have been analysed with concern to the initial and final assessments, description of applied therapies and a rehabilitation plan proposal. The research has shown that a well-applied, regularly-performed exercise affects ballet-induced difficulties positively. The thesis can be used by ballet dancers to prevent potential injuries caused by classical ballet performance and to realise the differences between classical ballet rules and human body physiology.
