Modern (or contemporary) dance has become increasingly popular, yet little has been reported with respect to modern dance injuries and their consequences. The purpose of this study is to define the incidence, risk factors, and management of musculoskeletal injuries in professional modern dancers. A total of 184 dancers in the United States completed an anonymous 17-page questionnaire on their injuries, including extensive details regarding the two most severe injuries that had occurred in the prior 12 months. According to their self-reports, a total of 82% of the dancers had suffered between one and seven injuries. The foot and ankle (40%) was the most common site of injury, followed by the lower back (17%) and the knee (16%). The rate of injuries was 0.59 per 1,000 hours of class and rehearsal. Injured male dancers returned to full dancing after a median of 21 days, while females returned after a median of 18 days. Most dancers missed no performances due to injury. Of the medical consultations sought by dancers for their injuries, 47% were made to physicians, 41% to physical therapists, and 34% to chiropractors. The majority of dancers adhered to the advice given them by consultants (87% of males and 78% of females for the most severe injury). While the majority of injuries were considered work-related (61% of the most severe injury and 69% of the second most severe), few were covered by Workers' Compensation insurance (12% and 5% respectively). These professional modern dancers suffer from a rate of injury similar to other groups of professional dancers. Most dancers return to a partial level of dancing several weeks before attempting full-capacity dancing.
现代舞越来越受欢迎，但关于现代舞损伤及其后果的报道却很少。本研究的目的是确定职业现代舞者肌肉骨骼损伤的发生率、风险因素及处理方法。美国共有184名舞者填写了一份17页的关于其损伤情况的匿名问卷，包括过去12个月内发生的最严重的两次损伤的详细信息。根据他们的自我报告，共有82%的舞者受过一到七次伤。足踝部（40%）是最常见的受伤部位，其次是下背部（17%）和膝盖（16%）。每1000小时的课程和排练中损伤发生率为0.59。受伤的男性舞者在受伤后中位21天恢复完全舞蹈能力，而女性舞者则在中位18天后恢复。大多数舞者因伤未错过任何演出。在舞者因伤寻求的医疗咨询中，47%是向医生咨询，41%是向物理治疗师咨询，34%是向脊椎按摩师咨询。大多数舞者遵循了咨询顾问给他们的建议（最严重损伤的男性为87%，女性为78%）。虽然大多数损伤被认为与工作有关（最严重损伤的61%和第二严重损伤的69%），但很少有能得到工伤赔偿保险的覆盖（分别为12%和5%）。这些职业现代舞者的损伤发生率与其他职业舞者群体相似。大多数舞者在尝试完全恢复舞蹈能力前几周会先恢复到部分舞蹈水平。
