Dance injuries have a chance of causing paralysis, but there is no specific value that relates to the extent of the injury.
Paralysis is mainly caused by damage to the spinal cord or nerves that innervate skeletal muscles, and there is a risk of paralysis from injuries sustained from some dance moves, such as leg presses and lower backs. Improper leg presses or strenuous movements can lead to excessive nerve root strain and spinal cord injury.
Lower back is a common movement in dance and taekwondo practice. Excessive lowering of the back pulls on the spinal cord and pulls on vasospasm triggering spinal cord hemorrhage, which in turn can lead to a no-fracture dislocation type of spinal cord injury. Excessive pulling may also cause degenerative disc disease, which can compress the spinal cord and lead to paralysis.
Dance enthusiasts are advised to practice under the guidance of professionals, protect their bodies, and take professional measures to treat any discomfort in time!
