About

The injuries in the dancers are usually associated with different factors such as the characteristics of the footwear, height of the heel and physical requirements, the articulation of the ankle being the most susceptible when the loads are not adequately dealt. The main objective is to evaluate in a sample of subjects if there is a difference in the stability of the ankle, as a consequence of previous sprains, between flamenco dancers and dancers and a dance-free control group.
