STUDY OF LUMBAR LORDOSIS AND PELVIC POSITION IN BHARATANATYAM DANCERS
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Bharatanatyam is one of the most ancient dance forms in India. This dance style is characterized by a linear form of the body without any pronounced movement of the upper body and linear spatial patterns, which make the dance form extremely dynamic and powerful.Wrong adaptation of this posture could impose an excessive stress on the spine, especially the lumbar spine, and result in pain, disability among the dancers. This study was undertaken to assess the lumbar curvatures and pelvic inclinations in bharatnatyam dancers. A preliminary study on the prevalence of low back pain in bharatanatyam dancers was found to be nearly 45%. There are evidences that show increased lumbar lordosis and pelvic inclination can lead to low back pain. From our study it can be concluded that the lumbar lordosis angle and the pelvic inclination angle in bharatanatyam dancers is more than the non-dancers.We also proved that there is linear correlation between the two measurements which explains the pelvic posture and the lumbar spine posture in bharatanatyam dancers
