Clinical practice and some scientific evidence seem to suggest that there is some kind of relationship between the components that form the postural chain. For professional dancers, good posture and balance are essential. The aim of the present retrospective study is to evaluate whether gnathological treatment could have an impact on the postural balance and sports performance of professional ballet dancers. Electromyographic (EMG) data and balance tests were recorded before and after six months of treatment with a customized occlusal splint. Twenty athletes were examined during ballet exercises in terms of balance and speed of execution by two experienced clinicians. The results showed statistically significant changes for all EMG tests carried out and the Flamingo Balance Test. It appears that the use of a customized occlusal device improved neuro-muscular coordination and the overall performance of dancers.
临床实践和一些科学证据似乎表明,构成姿势链的各个组成部分之间存在某种关系。对于职业舞者来说,良好的姿势和平衡至关重要。本回顾性研究的目的是评估口腔正畸治疗是否会对职业芭蕾舞演员的姿势平衡和运动表现产生影响。在用定制的咬合夹板治疗六个月前后记录了肌电图(EMG)数据和平衡测试。两名经验丰富的临床医生在芭蕾舞练习期间对20名运动员的平衡和执行速度进行了检查。结果显示,所有进行的肌电图测试和火烈鸟平衡测试均有统计学上的显著变化。看来,使用定制的咬合装置改善了舞者的神经肌肉协调性和整体表现。
