To determine the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in pre-professional and professional dancers and its impact on dance participation, care-seeking and medication use.
Prospective cohort study.
One pre-professional ballet school, two pre-professional university dance programs, and a professional ballet company.
Male and female classical ballet and contemporary dancers.
An initial questionnaire collected demographic and LBP history data. The monthly prevalence of LBP (all episodes, activity limiting episodes and chronic LBP) and impact (activity limitation, care-seeking, and medication use) was collected over a nine-month period.
119 dancers participated, which represented 54% of those invited. Activity limiting LBP was reported by 52% of dancers, while chronic LBP was reported by 24%. Seventeen percent of all episodes of LBP resulted in some form of dance activity being completely missed. One-third of the sample reported care-seeking and one-fifth of the sample used medication. A history of LBP was associated with activity limiting LBP (p < 0.01; adjusted odds ratio: 3.98; 95% confidence interval: 1.44, 11.00).
LBP in dancers was common and had multiple impacts. This study reinforces the need for dancer access to healthcare professionals with expertise in evidence-based LBP prevention and management.
确定职业前和职业舞者中腰痛（LBP）的患病率及其对舞蹈参与、寻求治疗和药物使用的影响。
前瞻性队列研究。
一所职业前芭蕾舞学校、两个职业前大学舞蹈项目和一个职业芭蕾舞团。
男性和女性古典芭蕾舞和当代舞者。
一份初始问卷收集了人口统计学和腰痛病史数据。在九个月的时间里收集了腰痛（所有发作、限制活动的发作和慢性腰痛）的月度患病率及其影响（活动受限、寻求治疗和药物使用）。
119名舞者参与，占受邀者的54%。52%的舞者报告有活动受限的腰痛，24%报告有慢性腰痛。所有腰痛发作中有17%导致某种形式的舞蹈活动完全取消。三分之一的样本报告寻求治疗，五分之一的样本使用药物。腰痛病史与活动受限的腰痛相关（p<0.01；调整后的优势比：3.98；95%置信区间：1.44，11.00）。
舞者中的腰痛很常见且有多种影响。本研究强化了舞者需要接触具有循证腰痛预防和管理专业知识的医疗保健专业人员的必要性。
