ABSTRACT
Musculoskeletal problems are common in instrumental musicians. Little is known about the factors that place musicians at risk, and the ways in which musicians can prevent these problems. Overuse syndrome is the most reported diagnosis among instrumental musicians suffering from playing related musculoskeletal injuries. The study group comprised 50 musicians employed in Symphony Orchestra of the Serbian National Theatre of Novi Sad. Out of the 50 musicians, 30 (60 %) are male and 20 (40 %) female. Higher frequencies of the presence of musculoskeletal symptoms were neck, region of trapezius, back, shoulder, wrist, hand and arm. A larger number of musicians (81.8 %) had perception of high demand of the profession. This investigation with professional classical musicians should show the music-medical interest.
RESUMEN
Los problemas musculo-esqueléticos son comunes en los músicos instrumentales. Poco se sabe sobre los factores que ponen en riesgo a los músicos y las formas en que los ellos pueden prevenir estos problemas. El síndrome de uso excesivo es el diagnóstico más informado entre los músicos instrumentales que sufren lesiones musculo-esqueléticas relacionadas al uso de instrumentos musicales. El grupo de estudio estuvo compuesto por 50 músicos de la Orquesta Sinfónica del Teatro Nacional Serbio de Novi Sad. De los 50 músicos, 30 (60 %) eran hombres y 20 (40 %) mujeres. La frecuencia más alta de presencia de síntomas musculoesqueléticos se produjo en el cuello, músculo trapecio, espalda, hombro, muñeca, mano y brazo. Un mayor número de músicos (81,8 %) tuvo una percepción de alta demanda de la profesión. Esta investigación con músicos clásicos profesionales debería ser de interés médico-musical.
