Spinal myoclonus resembling belly dance.
A 63-year-old man presented with an 11-month history of progressive myoclonus in the right abdominal wall. Administration of clonazepam reduced the frequency and amplitude. When the therapy was discontinued, the frequency and amplitude of the myoclonus increased, and synchronous and weak myoclonus also was observed in the left abdomen. The trunk was twisted just after the appearance of the abdominal myoclonus associated with myoclonic jerks spreading from the rostral to caudal paraspinal muscles. Later in the clinical course, the myoclonus became stimulus sensitive and was induced by tendon tap given anywhere on the body, with the latency ranging from 50 to 150 ms irrespective of the sites of tapping. Myoclonus seen in the abdominal wall was segmental and considered to be of spinal origin. The reflex myoclonus had a 150-ms refractory period. It can be postulated that increased excitability of anterior horn cells at a certain segment might make a spino-bulbo-spinal reflex manifest at the corresponding segment. This myoclonus is considered to be a new form of spinal reflex myoclonus, because the abdominal myoclonic jerk seems to trigger another myoclonic jerk involving the paraspinal muscles.

The effects of maturation on self-induced dynamic body sway frequencies of girls performing acrobatics or classical dance.
We investigated the effects of maturation on the dynamic body sways of healthy girls. Prepubertal and postpubertal girls practising professional physical activities requiring a good ability to maintain equilibrium (acrobats and dancers) were asked to stand on a free seesaw platform and the results compared to those for untrained age-matched girls. This platform (stabilometer) allows self-induced body sways. Stabilograms were obtained by a double integration of the angular acceleration from the recordings of the platform sways made with an accelerometer. Fast Fourier transform processing of stabilograms allowed spectral frequency analysis. The total spectrum energy and the energies of three frequency bands (0-0.5 Hz, 0.5-2 Hz, 2-20 Hz) were determined. ANOVA showed that, for all groups of different equilibrium activity and independent of visual input, prepubertal girls had higher energy values than postpubertal girls in the 0- to 0.5-Hz band whereas the opposite was true for 0.5- to 2-Hz band. Ballet dancers were more dependent than acrobats on visual inputs for the regulation of their postural control but were less dependent than untrained girls at both ages. Maturation seemed to shift body sways towards higher frequencies and the utilization of the cues of postural control was different according to the type of equilibrium activity practised by the subjects.
Foot and ankle injuries in dance.
Although dancers develop overuse injuries common in other athletes, they are also susceptible to unique injuries. This article reviews common foot and ankle problems seen in dancers and provides some basic diagnosis and treatment strategies.

[Eating disorders and suicide attempts in 2 dance students].
BACKGROUND: Young ballet dancers constitute a risk group for anorexia and bulimia but suicide attempts have not been reported in this group. CASE REPORTS: Two girls, aged 16 and 15 years, respectively, were admitted for suicide attempts. Both were students in a ballet school and have been previously treated for anorexia nervosa. One of them was depressed and the other had hysterical manifestations. CONCLUSION: Psychological monitoring should be systematic in young athletic subjects of high-level performances.
Judo, better than dance, develops sensorimotor adaptabilities involved in balance control.
OBJECTIVES: Training allows sportsmen to acquire new balance control abilities, possibly differing according to the discipline practised. We compared, by means of static and dynamic posturographic tests, the postural skills of high-level judoists, professional dancers and controls, in order to determine whether these sports improved postural control. RESULTS: With eyes open, judoists and dancers performed better than controls, indicating a positive effect of training on sensorimotor adaptabilities. Yet, with eyes closed, only judoists retained a significantly better stance. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that the practice of a high-skill activity involving proprioceptive afferences especially improves both performance and balance control.
