Abstract(s)
Dance is an art form considered a language since it can sometimes reflect a
population’s culture or even a celebration that accompanies humanity from its earliest
times and which requires from performers a high physical and emotional dexterity. It is
expected that the dancer performs rigorous and repetitive technical movements that often
lead to painful injuries, resulting in 56% of classical ballet dancers will suffer from some
type of musculoskeletal injury.
Due to this high number of injuries, it is essential to study and analyse base movements
for this type of dance in order to prevent injuries and to optimize the dancer's
choreography and productivity. These movements are precedents of more complex
movements. In this work, the study of a base dance movement, the Echappé Sauté, using
biomechanical techniques is carried out to study the kinematics of the movement.
For the data collection, three dancers voluntarily participated and the movements were
capture using a 2nd Generation Kinect camera that allows the capture of 3D movement.
The biomechanical analysis was performed using the IpiSoft software and a manual
procedure was used to perform a 2D biomechanical analysis based on the assumption that
the dance movements for this study occur only in one plane. The results were compared to
show the adequacy of the use of the Kinetic sensor for 3D dance movement analysis.
