A new study found side effects of one of breakdancing’s most iconic moves: the headspin. The study was published in the journal BMJ and was led by Mikael Bundgaard Sköting and Christian Bastrup Sondergaard of the Department of Neurosurgery at Copenhagen University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Although breakdancing has many benefits, it also has significant physical side effects. break dancing It involves many complex and physically demanding techniques that can be stressful on the body. Breakdancers are particularly at risk for injury due to the complex nature of these movements. Major injuries include sprains, strains and tendinitis. Additionally, cases of head and brain injuries have also been reported, including reports of serious conditions such as subdural hematomas.

Breakdancing for long periods of time often leads to a set of chronic pains collectively known as ‘breakdancer overuse syndrome’. This includes conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tenosynovitis, impingement syndrome, non-painful chronic bumps on the back and head, persistent hair loss and persistent scalp irritation from headspins.

The study found that a headspin hole This is a head injury that occurs in breakdancers. Headspin holes begin with hair loss and then develop into a bulge also known as breakdance bulgeIt is characterized by hair loss, swelling, numbness and sometimes the formation of lumps on the scalp.

This case report was of a man aged about 30 who had been breaking for about 20 years. He was treated for a benign tumor that had grown more than an inch thick. This condition, also known as breakdance bulge, is caused by repetitive friction between the skull and the floor during a headspin, which is further increased by the pressure applied during the move.

Dr. Christian Bastrup Sondergaard, a neurosurgery specialist at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, said, “We believe this condition is caused by repeated friction between the head and the floor, which results from years of breakdancing resulting in the weight-bearing headspin.” Is combined with nature to do.

“This repeated stress on the skull, scalp, and skin triggers inflammation, and over time, minor bleeding from the skin,” said Sondergaard, who is co-author of the case report and is treating the patient. May thicken and scar tissue may form, causing the characteristic.” bump.”

The patient complained of discomfort and pain and said he avoided going to public places without a hat to hide the bulge, a CNN report said. After surgeons removed the growth, the patient expressed relief, “It’s great to be able to go out in public without a hat or cap. “Many people tell me that they no longer see the bulge and that my head looks normal.”
