Abstract
Back injuries may occur at any age or level of skill and are slightly more prevalent in male dancers. The risk factors that may be involved in a given injury include training errors, musculotendinous imbalance, anatomic malalignment of the lower extremity, shoe wear, and floor surface. Assessment of these risk factors provides guides for management and prevention.
