Dancing is one of the most physically strenuous activities on musculoskeletal system. As other literature has previously described, types, sites, and rates dance-related injuries are similar to those suffered by athletes in traditional sports.A retrospective analysis was conducted with data from National Electronic Injury Surveillance System 1991-2007. Sample weights were used calculate national estimates injuries. Trend significance numbers age-adjusted over time analyzed using linear...
Abstract Background TikTok is one of the fastest-growing social media platforms.
