Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to:

• Describe the anatomy, biomechanics and pathomechanics of common injuries in dancers at the hip, pelvis and lumbar spine.
• Identify typical presentations of commonly seen injuries/conditions including predisposing and precipitating factors, diagnostic presentation, typical interventions and prevention.
• Apply effective intervention strategies to typical injuries/conditions at the hip, pelvis and lumbar spine in dancers including exercise, motor control, technique re-education, myofascial release, taping and use of supports.
• For those licensed to do graded passive movement at the joints: Apply effective intervention strategies to typical injuries/conditions at the hip, pelvis and lumbar spine in dancers including joint mobilization/ Grade V movements.
• Improve observational skills of the performing dancer with a focus on the biomechanics of the hip, pelvis and lumbar spine and integrate this skill into intervention programs.
