Summary/Abstract: Introduction: Injuries in the area of the hip joint and groin are considered very common in dancers, they represent up to 17.7 %. Among the specifics of the biomechanics of movement in ballet are primarily extraphysiological ranges, while the emphasis is mainly on extrarotation and abduction of the hip joint. Core of Work: Instability is one of the three most common etiologies of pain in the hip joint area in dancers. Its initial treatment consists primarily of precisely and specifically targeted kinesiotherapy, which focuses mainly on strengthening the core of the dancers‘ body and the periarticular muscles in the hip joint area. Its primary goal is to ensure the optimal function of the dancer‘s locomotor apparatus, minimizing the risk of injuries, and also contributes to the long‑term sustainability of their career. The goal of the research is to verify whether and to what extent it is possible to influence the stabilizing function of the hip joints in professional classical ballet dancers using targeted kinesiotherapy. Conclusion: Microinstability of the hip joints is evaluated through the use of three new, currently sufficiently scientifically based, clinical tests (AB‑HEER test, HEER test, Prone instability test) Research should be a source of relevant data that will have a significant impact on a better understanding of this issues.
