Ms. McIntyre provides backstage care to Broadway shows and dance companies as well as injury prevention assessments and educational lectures to the dance community. She is an on-site certified athletic trainer for The Conservatory of Dance at Purchase College, SUNY.
Injury surveillance is a critical component of the sequence of prevention model. Inspired by early sports epidemiologists, the International Performing Arts Injury Reporting System (IPAIRS) was developed in 1981 by the Head Athletic Trainer for Joffrey Ballet to quantify injury and assess associated risk factors. IPAIRS, a collaborative, online instrument for the performing arts has yielded practicable information about fatigue and injury onset, ACL rate differences from athletes, and training volume variances between professional and university dancers. This presentation will make clear how robust surveillance can be implemented by athletic trainers for performing arts-based preventative services.
