| Description | Classical dance at a professional level is comparable to top sport. Physiotherapist applies basic elements of musculoskeletal system physiology to training. It leads to more economical movement. A balance must be struck between the aesthetic and the health aspects. In the case study was evaluated the quality of the technical skills of ballet female proband L.Z. (female sex, 23 years old, height: 165 cm, weight: 46 kg, right upper extremity and left lower extremity are dominant). The physiological aspects of the musculoskeletal system were monitored. In this article we will focus on examinations in selected basic positions of classical dance, which was part of the incoming and outgoing examinations. There were 8 therapies at a frequency of 1 - 2 times per week between the examinations. Therapies were focused on the perception of body details according to different concepts and their application to the classical dance trainings. The proband after therapies gives a feeling of greater certainty in individual positions. Objectively in the first position there is no longer a hyperpronation of feet, nor excessive external rotation of the hips and anteversion of the pelvis. In a grand plié, the proband is capable of correction for achieving a greater degree of physiology. In positions of grand battement jeté the proband is able to partially center the hip joint of the training leg. The extension at the lower range of motion is done with no problem. Higher range of motion leads to significant development in one segment of the spine and the syndrome of open scissors. The conscious work on adjusting the technique of individual classical dancing positions has led to the improvement of the subjective feelings of the proband (the feeling of certainty and stability). It is necessary to respect the long duration of the changes in order not to forcibly remove the compensatory mechanisms of the proband. |
