Abstract
Turnout, the capacity to laterally rotate the lower limb, is the most fundamental element of ballet [1-4] and must be reached by rotating the hip joint [5]. Though dancers aim for a 180º between feet, only a few are capable of reaching this amplitude [6-8]. Most use compensations that enhance other lower limb joints
rotation, which is said to increase internal loads, and the rate of turnout related injuries in dancers [9-11]. However, literature searches failed to identify studies evaluating internal loads in ballet movements?
