• Injury epidemiology and risk profiling across dance forms, centering on ankle and knee injuries, overuse patterns, and age-related vulnerability, revealing shared biomechanical and training determinants across genres [1], [4], [7], [17], [18], [19].

• Dance-based balance, postural control, and mobility rehabilitation are studied across health and disease, using Parkinson's disease, heart failure, and trained dancer paradigms to explore motor learning, sensory integration, and therapeutic efficacy through structured movement [3], [8], [9], [14], [16], [20].

• Anatomical and biomechanical analyses of the ankle and lower limb under dance demands unify orthopedic and performance perspectives, linking joint mechanics, tendon/injury patterns, and protective strategies across stages of training and professional activity [1], [4], [5], [7], [12], [18].

• Dance and movement therapy as health interventions across diverse populations, emphasizing neurobiology, cancer care, and overall well-being; frames movement as therapeutic process rather than solely rehabilitative [10], [11], [14], [15], [20].

• Developmental and performance-focused biomechanics and education examine turnout, joint mobility, and education-related movement patterns, linking technique demands with injury risk and performance outcomes across youth and elite dancers [2], [6], [7], [16], [19].
