Welcome to #ResearchWednesday. Starting  with the month of #february we will be sharing research articles  we utilize to help guide our care. .
🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬
This article highlights the development of specific tests to determine #pointe readiness in young ballet dancers. For any ballet dancer pointe is a pivotal part in their dance careers. .
🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬
As of right now, there is no standardize way to determine if a young dancer is ready for pointe. The decision is arbitrary and based on age, years of experience, and teacher recommendation. .
🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬
Currently our #dancemedicine team has a more objective measure to determine pointe readiness but is working to make the process even better. The article has 5 tests it utilized to help make the decision process more measurable.
.
💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Do you have a young dancer who has been instructed to start pointe work? Has he/she been screened? If not, contact our office at 703-527-9557 and ask for a dancer screen for your young dancer. Have a better understanding as to why or why not your young dancer may or may not be ready for pointe.
