The practice of flamenco dance involves great biomechanical demands, comparable with a high-performance sport. The technical movements of the footwork tap, the jumps, and the turns increase the prevalence of injuries and pathologic disorders of the foot and lower limb. Limited research has examined adaptation of the foot posture and dorsiflexion of the ankle in flamenco dancing. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate whether the practice of flamenco dancing produces modifications in the ankle's dorsiflexion range of motion, Foot Posture Index, or pronation.
A cross-sectional observational study with intentional sampling was performed with 26 individuals (52 feet) in two groups: professional female flamenco dancers (n = 13) and nondancers (n = 13). The participants were assessed in a single session for ankle dorsiflexion, foot pronation (navicular drop test), and foot posture (Foot Posture Index).
Significant differences were found between the two groups for left foot Foot Posture Index (P = .007) and right foot navicular drop test (P = .006).
The results of this study indicate that flamenco dancing can produce modifications in the Foot Posture Index and foot pronation versus nondancers. Further research is required.
弗拉门戈舞的实践涉及到巨大的生物力学需求，可与高绩效运动相媲美。脚部的踏舞、跳跃和旋转等技术动作增加了脚部和下肢受伤和病理紊乱的发生率。有限的研究检查了弗拉门戈舞中足部姿势和踝关节背屈的适应性。因此，本研究的目的是评估弗拉门戈舞的实践是否会导致踝关节背屈运动范围、足弓指数或旋前的改变。
采用横断面观察性研究和有意抽样法，对 26 名个体（52 只脚）进行了两组研究：专业女性弗拉门戈舞者（n = 13）和非舞者（n = 13）。参与者在单次评估中接受踝关节背屈、足部旋前（舟骨下降试验）和足部姿势（足弓指数）的评估。
两组之间左足足弓指数（P =.007）和右足舟骨下降试验（P =.006）存在显著差异。
本研究结果表明，弗拉门戈舞可以改变足弓指数和足部旋前，与非舞者相比。需要进一步研究。
