Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Bis zu 89 % der professionellen Orchestermusiker sind während ihrer Karriere von Instrumentalspiel-assoziierten muskuloskeletalen Schmerzsyndromen (IAMS) betroffen. Allerdings ist nur wenig über die zugrunde liegenden muskuloskeletalen Funktionsstörungen bekannt.

Studienergebnisse

Studienergebnisse zeigen, dass das Instrumentalspiel häufig mit Haltungsinsuffizienzen verbunden ist. Musikstudenten weisen ein etwa doppelt so hohes Risiko für muskuloskeletale Beschwerden auf. In klinischen Untersuchungen zeigte sich außerdem, dass bei Musikern mit IAMS vermehrt muskuloskeletale Funktionsstörungen vorliegen. Insbesondere sind IAMS häufig mit Störungen der posturalen Stabilisationssysteme verbunden.

Abstract

Background

Up to 89 % of professional orchestra musicians are affected by playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMD). Data concerning the character of the underlying musculoskeletal dysfunctions are scarce.

Study results

The results of published studies show that playing a musical instrument is often associated with postural disorders. Music students demonstrate a twofold higher risk of developing musculoskeletal problems in comparison to non-music students. Clinical investigations further indicated that musicians with PRMD presented with more musculoskeletal dysfunctions than control subjects. Furthermore, PRMD is frequently associated with impairment of postural stabilization systems.
