    Over the past few decades, dance science has produced a vast
    range of conditioning and injury prevention techniques, enabling dancers’ bodies to
    be stronger and more capable than ever before.

    The expectations of choreographers and audiences have increased at


    the same rate, so dancers still face the possibility of injury at some time during
    their careers. How well they are informed about injury care can play a large part in
    their successful rehabilitation and return to dancing.

    Common Injuries or Emergency Involving Dance Activity

    Dehydration
    The process of losing or removing water or moisture. A
    condition caused by the excessive loss of water from the
    body, which causes a rise in blood sodium levels.

    Overexert
    Defined as to strain or put too much pressure on one’s
    self.

    Hypothermia
    The condition of having an abnormally low body
    temperature, typically one that is dangerously low.

    Hyperthermia

    The condition of having a body temperature greatly above


    normal.

    G12 : H.O.P.E 3 Lesson 2 : Common Injuries in Dance Page 6


    THIS COPY IS ONLY FOR ACTIVITY COMPLETION, NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION AND REPRODUCTION

    Sprains

    A strength or tear of a ligament, the band of connective


    tissues the joints the end of one bone with another.

    Strains

    A twist, pull or tear of a muscle or tendon – a cord of tissue


    connecting muscle to bone.

    Fracture

    A break in the bone that can occur from either a quick, one-
    time injury to the bone (acute fracture) or from repeated
    stress to the bone over time.

    Dislocations
    When two bones that come together to form a joint become separated, the joint is
    described as being dislocated.

    How to prevent Hypothermia

    • Wear a hat or other protective covering to prevent body heat from escaping
    from your head, face and neck.
    • Dry. Stay as dry as possible.

    How to prevent Hyperthermia

    • Drink 2 to 3 quarts of water daily.


    • Avoid exertion or exercise, especially during the hottest part of the day.

    How to Prevent Dehydration

    • Drink plenty of water before, while, and after dance activities.


    • Drink extra fluids or suck on flavored ice pops.
    • Avoid alcohol.
    • Do not take salt tablets.

    How to Prevent Overexertion

    • Know your limits.


    • Stretch and warm up before any heavy dance activity.

    Minor injuries, such as mild sprains and strains, can often be initially
    treated using PRICED therapy for two or three days. PRICED stands for protection,
    rest, ice, compression, elevation and diagnosis.
    • PROTECTION: Remove additional danger or risk from injured area.
    • REST: Stop dancing and stop moving the injured area.
    • ICE: Apply ice to the injured area for 20 minutes every two (2) hours.
    • COMPRESSION: Apply an elastic compression bandage to the injured area.
    • ELEVATION: Raise the injured area above the heart.
    • DIAGNOSIS: Acute injuries should be evaluated by a health-care
    professional.

    First Aid Must Have (Sterile dressing and platers)


    • Plasters: Use plasters for small cuts and grazes
    • Sterile pad: For more cushioning, you can use sterile pad and hold it in place
    with sticky tape. You could also use any clean, non-fluffy material, like a
    cloth scarf.
    • Sterile wound dressing: A sterile wound dressing is a sterile pad attached to
    a bandage. These are for longer wounds to apply pressure to help stop
    bleeding and are quick and easy to put on in an emergency.
    • Roller Bandage: Roller bandages are long thin bandages used to support
    joint injuries, hold dressing in place, put pressure on wounds to stop
    bleeding, and to reduce swelling.
    • Triangular Bandage: Are large triangular shaped pieces of cloth. You can fold
    a triangular bandage to use as either a bandage or sling, or if sterile, as a
    dressing for large wounds and burns.

    PROTECTIVE & OTHER ITEMS


    • Disposable gloves: Using disposable gloves reduces the risk of infection
    between you and someone you are helping. If available, always wear gloves
    whenever you dress wounds.
    • Cleansing wipes, alcohol free wipes: Used to clean the skin around the
    wound
    • Gauze pads as dressings: To use as padding, or as swabs to clean around
    wounds
    • Sticky tape (adhesive tape): To hold dressing in place or to hold the loose end
    of bandages
    • Pins and Clips: To fasten the loose end of bandage
    • Scissors, shears and tweezers: Used to cut sterile pads, bandages, or sticky
    tape to the right length. You can also use them if you need to cut someone’s
    clothing so that you can get to a wound.
