Break-dancers risk

I am sure it comes to no suprise that break-dancers are at risk to injury with spinning on their heads and throwing their bodys' into different positions.  But a German study done recently confirmed and outlined what injuries they are more prone to.  In interviews with 144 professional and amateur break-dancers, researchers found that injuries to the spine, knee, wrist, shoulder and ankle were common, especially among professionals.  Also 70 percent said they'd suffered from overuse injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tenosynovitis( inflammation of the sheath that surrounds a tendon).  The study also found that the breakdancers didn't take nearly enough time to heal.  For more specifics check out website.  photo credit: JaeYong, BAE
