Kinesiology in sports and recreation. Movement analysis, designing training and therapy.
The objective of the latest international project is to evaluate the kinematic parameters of metatarsophalangeal, ankle, knee, hip and spine joints of dancers of different dance styles, as well as to diagnose the pathophysiology resulting from dance technique and the dance shoes used. On this basis, it will be possible to establish standards of dancers’ gait for specific dance styles. This will allow the detection of differences occurring as a result of technical requirements of the dance movement or as a result of compensatory movements of certain diseases affecting professional dancers. This will make it possible to design corrective exercises, treatment methods and orthopaedic equipment for dancers and athletes practising aesthetic sports.
