Método de avaliação dinâmica do alinhamento articular dos membros inferiores de bailarinos durante o passo plié do ballet clássico

Gontijo, Kaanda Nabilla Souza January 2012 (has links)
O passo plié é um dos mais importantes do ballet clássico e sua execução incorreta, no que tange aos desalinhamentos articulares dos membros inferiores, pode vir a gerar lesões musculoesqueléticas em quadris, joelhos, tornozelos e pés dos bailarinos. Caracterizado pela flexão simultânea das articulações coxofemorais, femorotibiais e talocrurais, o plié deve ser executado com a manutenção da rotação externa de coxofemorais ou en dehors, sem que se faça, para isso, a rotação externa da tíbia e ou do pé de maneira compensatória. Segundo os preceitos técnicos, uma correta execução de todas as fases do passo plié deve contar com: (1) a estabilização do arco longitudinal do pé ou do médio pé; (2) o posicionamento e a estabilização da pelve na posição neutra; e (3) o alinhamento entre o joelho e o 2º dedo do pé ipsilateral. Estes critérios devem ser repetidamente trabalhados para que a bailarina(o) consiga, gradualmente, atingir a plenitude de linhas e amplitudes de movimento exigidas pela modalidade. Até onde se tem conhecimento, não se encontrou registro de qualquer instrumento avaliativo que auxilie metodologicamente os profissionais que lidam com o público de bailarinos a corrigirem e ou identificarem problemas compensatórios na execução do passo plié. Diante, portanto, da importância da manutenção dos critérios técnicos ao executar o passo plié e visando auxiliar no processo ensinoaprendizagem- treinamento de maneira tanto preventiva como por meio da reabilitação daquelas lesões já instaladas, os objetivos desta dissertação foram: (1) aprimorar a versão inicial do MADAAMI, introduzindo a avaliação pélvica dos bailarinos durante o passo plié, e realizar a sua validação interna (validade de conteúdo, reprodutibilidade intra e inter-avaliador); (2) determinar valores de referência cinemáticos correspondentes a uma execução adequada do passo, sem compensações articulares prejudiciais, seguindo as orientações técnicas do ballet clássico e os mesmos critérios avaliados pelo MADAAMI; e (3) identificar a concordância entre a avaliação realizada pelo MADAAMI (método qualitativo) e a avaliação cinemática (método quantitativo) do passo plié, com base nos critérios técnicos do ballet clássico. Vinte bailarinas foram avaliadas, simultaneamente, pelo MAADAMI (que consiste em uma filmagem, com uma única câmera, de bailarinos executando o passo plié e uma planilha de pontuação que avalia os critérios técnicos do passo) e pela avaliação cinemática 3D (por meio de quatro câmeras de vídeo sincronizadas entre si, estando os membros inferiores com 22 marcadores reflexivos situados em pontos anatômicos específicos). Após a reconstrução da imagem, no software Dvideow, foram obtidos valores de referência que permitiram classificar as bailarinas segundo os critérios técnicos da correta execução do passo plié. A análise estatística foi realizada no software SPSS 18.0, por meio do Coeficiente Kappa e Percentual de Concordância. Os resultados demonstraram que: (1) na validação interna, o MAADAMI apresenta validade de conteúdo, segundo avaliação de 12 experts no assunto; e apresenta índices satisfatórios de reprodutibilidade intra-avaliador, sendo indicado o seu uso na íntegra por um mesmo avaliador. O uso do MAADAMI por mais de um avaliador somente é recomendada na versão short (pois os índices satisfatórios de reprodutibilidade inter-avaliador foram encontrados apenas nos critérios: “joelho alinhado” na 1ª e na 2ª posição de pés e “médio pé estável” apenas na 1ª posição de pés na etapa “estática” da fase “com joelhos estendidos” antes do demi plié); (2) os valores de referência cinemáticos permitiram a quantificação angular e métrica dos critérios da correta execução do passo plié; e (3) na validação de concordância, os critérios do MAADAMI, para avaliar o passo plié, apresentaram concordância com os valores de referência da avaliação cinemática, com exceção da avaliação do critério “descrição da posição da pelve”. A presente dissertação apresenta, também, um capítulo de revisão de literatura sobre a técnica do ballet clássico, a fisiologia articular, o passo plié e suas lesões associadas. Conclui-se, a partir dos resultados encontrados, que o MADAAMI caracteriza-se como uma metodologia válida e reprodutível para a avaliação dinâmica do alinhamento articular dos membros inferiores de bailarinos executando o passo plié de ballet clássico. / Step plié is one of the most important steps of classical ballet and its incorrect execution, in relation to lower limb joint misalignments, could generate musculoskeletal injuries in hips, knees, ankles and feet of dancers. Characterized by simultaneous flexion of the hip joints, femorotibiais and talocrurais, the plié should be performed with maintaining the external rotation of hip or en dehors, without make up for that the external rotation of the tibia and foot in a compensatory manner. According to the precepts technicians, a correct execution of all the phases of step plié must have: (1) the stabilization of the longitudinal arch of the foot or middle-foot; (2) positioning and stabilizing the pelvis in the neutral position; and (3) alignment between the knee and the second toe ipsilateral. These criteria must be repeatedly worked for the dancer can gradually attain the fullness of lines and ranges of motion required by the modality. As far as we are aware, there was no record of any assessment tool that assists methodologically professionals who deal with dancers that could identify and correct the compensatory problems of plié step. Given, therefore, the importance of maintaining the technical criteria to perform step plié and aiming to help in the instruction-learning-training process, so both preventive and through rehabilitation of those injuries already installed, the objectives of this dissertation were: (1) Enhance the initial release of MADAAMI, introducing the evaluation of pelvic dancers during step plié, and perform internal validation (content validity, intra and inter-rater reproducibility); (2) determine kinematic reference values corresponding to a proper execution of the step, without compensation articular harmful, following the guidelines of classical ballet technique and the same criteria evaluated by MADAAMI; and (3) identify the correlation between evaluation by MADAAMI (qualitative method) and kinematic evaluation (quantitative method) from plié step, based on technical criteria of classical ballet. Twenty dancers were evaluated simultaneously by MAADAMI (consisting of a video with a single camera, of dancers performing plié step and a score sheet that evaluates the technical criteria of the step) and by 3D kinematic evaluating (through four video cameras synchronized together, being lower limbs with 22 reflective markers placed on specific anatomical landmarks). After image reconstruction, in Dvideow software, reference values were obtained that allowed classify the dancers according to technical criteria for correct execution of plié step. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS 18.0 software, through Kappa Coefficient and Percentage of Agreement. The results showed that: (1) in the internal validation, according to an evaluation of 12 experts in the subject, MAADAMI presents content validity; and has satisfactory levels of intra-rater reproducibility, and its use is indicated in its entirety by the same examiner. The use of MAADAMI by more than one evaluator is only recommended in the short version (because satisfactory levels of inter-rater reproducibility were found only on the criteria: “aligned knee” in 1st and 2nd feet position and “stable midfoot” only in 1st position of feet in “static” step, “with knees straight” stage before demi plié); (2) the kinematic reference values allowed the angular and metric quantification criteria of the correct execution of plié step; and (3) in validation of agreement, to evaluate plié step, the MAADAMI criteria, showed agreement with the reference values of the kinematic evaluation, except the evaluation criterion “description of pelvis position”. This dissertation also presents a chapter of literature review about the technique of classical ballet, the articular physiology, plié step and their associated injuries. It is concluded from the results found that MADAAMI is characterized as a valid and reproducible methodology for the dynamic evaluation of the joint alignment of the lower limbs in dancers executing plié step in classical ballet.

The effect of Indian dance on gait and balance of children : comparing Grade R and Grade 7 children

Cara, Nikita January 2016 (has links)
Magister Artium (Sport, Recreation and Exercise Science) - MA(SRES) / Through the process of motor learning and control, new skills are then developed. There are various physical activities that enable the development of new motor skills, one being dance. Numerous studies have found that dance has improved sensorimotor control of body sway following just a single dance session. Furthermore, learning dance engages a variety of cognitive resources that improve postural control of children. Dancing therefore contributes to the development and refinement of the fundamental motor skills like gait and balance. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of dance training on gait and balance of Grade R and Grade 7 school children, and to investigate which age group would best demonstrate these effects. This study was conducted using an intervention and control group. The Grade R intervention group constituted a sample of thirty-four participants, the Grade R control consisted of twenty-seven participants, the Grade 7 intervention group and control group consisted of twenty-one participants each. Three different testing instruments were used; a 10-meter walk test for stride pattern analysis, a dynamic balance test known as the tandem gait and the static balance test known as the tandem stance balance test. Both the control and experimental group were required to perform these tests before and after the intervention period. The dance training lasted a period of six weeks and was conducted on a weekly basis. Following the intervention it was found that only Grade R stride pattern in terms of stride frequency was significantly changed and that no significant changes were seen at any time for Grade 7 children stride pattern and balance. The balance changes were seen for both Grade R intervention and control groups, showing that the children were improving with physical activity, which cannot be attributed to dance alone. This highlights that training should be started at the young age, and that physical activity programs like dance are good and diverse options to consider when designing such activities.

Dança Zouk : trajetórias do aprendiz

Willadino, Isabel Costa January 2012 (has links)
Esta pesquisa trata do aprendizado da dança Zouk. Tem como objetivo descrever e analisar como o aprendiz se orienta a partir das informações recebidas, em resposta ao modelo e às solicitações do professor, em relação ao ajuste do movimento corporal ao tempo proposto e característico da Dança Zouk, assim como, explicar de que modo ocorre a independência desse aprendiz com relação ao modelo. Participaram da pesquisa 23 sujeitos adultos iniciantes em dança Zouk, com idade entre 19 e 61 anos, que frequentavam aulas de dança em três instituições privadas da cidade de Porto Alegre, sendo duas escolas de dança e uma universidade que oferece curso de dança na modalidade de extensão. Os dados empíricos provêm de 9 sessões de observação de aulas de dança Zouk e de 23 entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com os participantes, colhidos nos meses de agosto e setembro de 2011. A base teórica ampara-se em Braun, Rebouças e Ranvaud (2009) e Rocha (2008) a respeito de aprendizagem motora, Caregnato (2011) sobre aprendizado do ritmo, Fraisse (1974) sobre ritmo e percepção e Wachowicz (2010) a respeito do ensino de dança. A partir dos resultados encontrados, entende-se que a aprendizagem da dança Zouk depende da construção da representação mental do gesto. Até que ocorra a construção da imagem interna, o aprendiz necessita eleger fontes de informação para realizar as tarefas. Destaca-se a informação visual, indicada pelos aprendizes como a principal fonte de informação no momento de aprender, e a importância do professor como modelo e referência. Quanto aos aspectos rítmicos, foi constatado que a voz do professor, empregando sílabas e ênfases, concretiza para os aprendizes os detalhes do ritmo. Na aprendizagem dos movimentos característicos da dança, o ajuste do corpo ao tempo forte da música antecede a compreensão do tempo musical. Os resultados da pesquisa poderão contribuir na construção de uma pedagogia da dança, oferecendo aporte teórico e reflexões acerca dos modos de ensinar e aprender a movimentação característica da dança Zouk. / This study is about the learning of the Zouk dance and has the aim to understand how the student coordinate the information at the moment of learning as well as to observe the way he reacts and orientates himself from the received information. The observations involve the way how the student tries to adequate the body to the gestual to accomplish the movement of the feet as well as to move with the music. The subjects of this study were 23 adults that were attending Zouk dance classes within two private schools and an university situated in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Data were collected during the months of August and September, 2011. The present research is supported by some theoreticians like Braun, Rebouças and Ranvaud (2009), Caregnato (2011), Fraisse (1974), Rocha (2008) and Wachowicz (2010). From the results, it is understood that the Zouk dance learning depends on the construction of the mental representation of gesture. Until the construction of the internal image occurs, the learner needs to choose sources of information to accomplish the tasks. I highlight the visual information indicated by the learners as the main source of information at the time of learning and the importance of the teacher as model and reference. Regarding the rhythmic aspects, it was found that the teacher's voice, using syllables and emphases, solidifies details of the rhythm. To learn the characteristic movements of the dance, the learner adjust the body to the downbeat of the music before understanding the musical time. The results of this study should contribute with reflections about the way to teach dance, using the specific Zouk music in a way to optimize the learning of the characteristic movement.
