Assessing and Reporting Dancer Capacities, Risk Factors, and Injuries

Abstract

This technical report of the Standard Measures Consensus Initiative of the In-ternational Association for Dance Medicine and Science (IADMS) describes the results of the committees multi-year effort to synthesize information regarding the tests and measures used in dance-related research, protocols for reporting injuries, and appropriate use of available technolo-gies to aid in standardizing such matters. Specific recommendations are presented, with accompanying rationales, to facilitate consensus among members of the dance medicine and science community. An Executive Summary of this Technical Report, which contains implementation strategies and appendices, should soon be available on the IADMS website.
