|a The purpose of this study was to examine the biomechanical differences between “new” and “dead” pointe shoes when professional female ballet dancers complete relevé and arabesque. This study compared peak ankle moments, muscle activation of the tibialis anterior and medial gastrocnemius, and sway area, which have been identified as risk factors for foot and ankle injuries in current literature. Nine female professional ballet dancers participated with mean age of 22.2(±2.2) years, height of 163.2(±6.3) cm, and weight of 50.8(±6.5) kg. "Dead" pointe shoes had significantly higher sway area during both relevé and arabesque than "new" shoes which has been linked to ankle instability (p=0.017 and 0.028, respectively). “New” pointe shoes had a significantly higher peak ankle joint inversion net moment during arabesque than “dead” shoes which has been identified as a risk factor for lateral ankle sprains (p=0.043). "Dead" pointe shoes had significantly higher root mean square – maximum voluntary contraction percentage of tibialis anterior activation during arabesque than "new" shoes which may cause an earlier onset of fatigue (p=0.04). Results in this study show that there were significant biomechanical differences between shoe conditions which are potential risk factors for chronic injuries. |
