Conditions that occur in the dancer's hip fall into the following categories: poor training; conditions that occur as the result of normal use; overuse syndromes, including tendinitis and myositis; and conditions referring pain to the hip. Dancers are highly motivated and goal oriented and often suppress symptoms for long periods, making diagnosis and treatment difficult. Observing the dancer at work and understanding his art are emphasized, and a practical guide to therapy is presented. Development of proper dance technique and a proper flexibility program can decrease the incidence of injuries.
训练不当；正常使用导致的病症；过度使用综合征，包括肌腱炎和肌炎；以及牵涉至髋部疼痛的病症。舞者积极性高且目标明确，常常长期抑制症状，这使得诊断和治疗都很困难。文中强调了观察舞者工作状态并了解其艺术，还给出了实用的治疗指南。发展正确的舞蹈技巧和合适的柔韧性训练计划可以降低受伤的发生率。
