Dancers experience significant more low back pain than non-dancers and are at increased risk of developing musculoskeletal injuries. The results of this study suggest that the outcome of two lumbopelvic movement control tests is associated with an increased risk of developing lower extremities or lumbar spine injuries in dancers.

This paper supports the use of movement control tests in the preventative screening programmes.
