A dance floor is often the only support of movements in dance. A dance floor surface that shows deficiencies, can result in acute injuries and chronic problems. Although the significance of an adequate dance floor is well known, there is still a lack of differentiated analyses of dance floor-related acute injuries.
This study presents data on acute injuries exclusively caused by the dance floor.
The data were obtained from standardized work accident reports from consultants (F 1000), documentary accident records from all Berlin theatres, a state ballet school (n=2,281), and case records from the Berlin State Accident Insurance (UKB) covering a period of 17 years. All analyses and descriptive statistics were conducted with Excel 2007 and SPSS 18.
Dance floor surfaces were the causative factor in 12.8% of all accidents (n=291, female 183, male 108). Almost two thirds (62.6%) of all accidents in professional dancers happened on stage, and almost half (49.5%) occurred during performances. As for causative factors, 53.1% of the professional dancers (P) and 42.5% of the dance students (S) claimed that the floor had been "too slippery," with "getting stuck" or (tripping) as the second most common problem (P 18.4%, S 11.3%). Of the injured dancers, 41.8% were older than 30 years and can therefore be categorized as experienced.
Dance floors play a significant role in the occurrence of acute injuries, even in experienced dancers. Performances on stage seem to be a particular risk. However, injury prevention measures should include all work locations (P) as well as non-dance-specific locations (S).
舞池通常是舞蹈中动作的唯一支撑。存在缺陷的舞池表面可能导致急性损伤和慢性问题。尽管合适的舞池的重要性广为人知，但仍缺乏对与舞池相关的急性损伤的差异化分析。
本研究呈现仅由舞池导致的急性损伤的数据。
数据来自顾问的标准化工伤报告（F 1000）、柏林所有剧院的事故记录文件、一所州立芭蕾舞学校（n = 2281）以及柏林州意外保险（UKB）涵盖17年的病例记录。所有分析和描述性统计均使用Excel 2007和SPSS 18进行。
舞池表面是所有事故中12.8%（n = 291，女性183例，男性108例）的致病因素。职业舞者中近三分之二（62.6%）的事故发生在舞台上，近一半（49.5%）发生在演出期间。至于致病因素，53.1%的职业舞者（P）和42.5%的舞蹈学生（S）称地面“太滑”，“卡住”或（绊倒）是第二常见问题（P 18.4%，S 11.3%）。在受伤的舞者中，41.8%年龄超过30岁，因此可归类为有经验的舞者。
舞池在急性损伤的发生中起重要作用，即使在有经验的舞者中也是如此。舞台表演似乎是一个特别的风险因素。然而，预防损伤的措施应包括所有工作地点（P）以及非特定舞蹈地点（S）。
