Objective: To verify the presence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in dancers and former dancers participating in the 27th Joinville Dance FestivalMaterial and methods: The research was conducted at the 27th Joinville Dance Festival in Santa Catarina, Brazil, with 173 participants in the competition, where 139 were dancers and 34 were former dancers with at least ten years of practiceIn order to obtain information related to MSDs, dancers answered a specific questionnaireResults: The study group consisted of adults (28±9 years) with body mass index within the normal range (21.3±2.3) with high weekly training time (955.7±837.2) and featuring long-time experience in dancing (18±7years)The lumbar spine and knees were the most affected by MSDsThe pain of high intensity was the symptom that most often appeared in reports among survey participantsConclusion: It is important to have deeper knowledge of the prevalence of pain among professional dancers, the factors associated with pain conditions and its impact on everyday life in order to plan new forms of prevention and plan new forms of prevention and treatment within a multidisciplinary approach© 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Introduction: Technical literature shows high frequencies of injuries occurring in classical ballet dancers; however, only limited information about the permanent effects of chronic diseases are mentioned. Objective: To compare the presence of MSD among dancers who wear pointe shoes and those who do not. Methods: The research was conducted at the 27th Festival of Joinville in Santa Catarina. The study had the participation of 111 dancers, 88 of whom wore pointe shoes while 23 did not. Specific procedures were used to obtain information related to MSD and foot injuries caused by dancing. Results: The most affected parts were the knees (29.7% with pointe shoes versus 39% without), spine (26.4% with pointe shoes versus 22% without), and ankle/foot (20% with pointe shoes versus 12.2% without). Through odds ratio and respective confidence intervals (IC95%), the study identified protection factor in the knees (0.24; CI95% - 0.09-0.64) and legs (0.11; CI95% - 0.02-0.65) for dancers who wear pointe shoes. It was found that the risk of injuries in specific structures of the foot is significantly higher among those dancers. In this case, the appearance of bunions (9.74; CI95% - 1.25-75,99), calluses on the toes (3.46; CI95% - 1.29-9.27) and the association of the three (4.47; CI95% - 1.69-11.83) were those that showed an increased risk factor compared to dancers who do not stand en pointe. Conclusion: The use of pointe shoes in elite Brazilian dancers was associated to lower occurrence of MSD in the knee and leg, however it was strongly associated to foot injuries.
