| Summary: | Introduction: The ability to remain standing, and develop movement is due to the presence of balance and base maintenance support provided by the feet. Objective: To assess the body balance and type of the plantar arch of practitioners of classical ballet. Methods: A sample of 15 subjects were divided in two groups: basic and intermediate. Checking the balance held by a pressure platform and arch classification done by tracing ôplantigraphycö. Results: No statistically significant difference (p = 0.173) between the speed of oscillation of the groups. Predominated in the overall sample cavus feet with greater weight-bearing forefoot bilaterally. Conclusion: There was prevalence of pes cavus, but it was not possible to establish a correlation between balance and plantar arch type for the sample studied. Also no detectable difference in the rate of oscillation between the basic and intermediate level. |
