Summary

This study adapted the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) for dancers, finding that upper-body restrictions didn't alter performance. Modified surfaces increased difficulty, highlighting key balance challenges for dancers.

Area of Science:

  • Dance science
  • Biomechanics
  • Motor control

Background:

  • Current dynamic balance tests inadequately assess dancers' needs.
  • The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a common balance assessment.
  • Dance requires specific dynamic balance capabilities not fully captured by standard tests.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To modify the SEBT for a dance-specific dynamic balance protocol.
  • To investigate the impact of upper-body restrictions on SEBT performance.
  • To evaluate the influence of altered foot positions and balance surfaces on SEBT outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-four healthy ballet and contemporary dancers performed five SEBT variations.
  • Included upper-body restrictions, parallel and turnout foot positions, and foam/block surfaces.
  • Measured reach distances, center of pressure (COP), error scores, and completion time.

Main Results:

  • Dance-specific upper-body restrictions did not significantly impact maximal reach or trial success.
  • Foam and block surfaces significantly increased test difficulty (lower reach, higher COP and error scores).
  • Most errors occurred in the crossed side and front directions, indicating these are challenging reach directions.

Conclusions:

  • Modified SEBT variations can create a more dance-specific dynamic balance assessment.
  • Altered surfaces present greater challenges, useful for evaluating dancer balance.
  • Identifying difficult reach directions aids in targeted training for dancers.
