“…De acordo com a literatura, a maioria das lesões osteomusculares observadas entre músicos ocorre entre a terceira e quarta década de vida 22 . Em nosso estudo, apesar da média de idade dos participantes ser de 25,2 anos, metade dos músicos relatam já apresentar dor osteomuscular que comprometia o desempenho de atividades e o exercício de ocupações.…”

“…Embora os resultados desse estudo indiquem a existência de impactos das queixas osteomusculares sobre o desempenho de atividades de vida diária, tal temática não é abordada pela literatura relacionada à saúde do músico. Apesar do crescente número de publicações referentes à investigação de sintomatologia musculoesquelética entre esta população, o foco destas pesquisas restringese as repercussões da dor ou limitação motora sobre o desempenho da atividade musical 1,4,5,9,[21][22][23][24] .…”

Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de sintomatologia osteomuscular entre músicos de uma universidade federal, verificando seu impacto sobre a participação em atividades de vidadiária e o desempenho de atividades laborais. Método: 26 músicos foram avaliados por meio do Questionário de Disfunção do Ombro, Braço e Mão e Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Osteomusculares. A relação entre sintomatologia musculoesquelética e desempenho ocupacional foi avaliada por meio dos testes de Mann-Whitney, Teste de Correlação de Spearman e Teste de Chi-Quadrado. Resultados: Foi observado predomínio de queixas osteomusculares nas regiões dos membros superiores e tronco, com baixa procura dos músicos por tratamentos de saúde. Observaram-se diferenças significativas no desempenho de atividades de vida diária e realização de atividades relacionadas à prática musical entre participantes que apresentavam queixas osteomusculares em membros superiores. Conclusão: O desempenho da atividade musical pode levar a processos de adoecimento, influenciando as atividades laborais, e outras áreas do desempenho ocupacional.Ações voltadas para a prevenção e tratamento de queixas osteomusculares são importantes para a elaboração de estratégias que visam preservar e promover a saúde desta população.

“…For example, pianists may exhibit symptoms relating almost exclusively to their wrists and hands (focal hand dystonia), whereas, due to required posture, other instrumentalists, such as flautists, are susceptible to neural or vascular impingement between the neck and the axilla (Sheibani-Rad et al, 2013). Violin and viola players may also experience nerve impingement in the neck and shoulder girdle (Berque and Gray, 2002).…”

Complex hand dexterity is fundamental to our interactions with the physical, social, and cultural environment. Dexterity can be an expression of creativity and precision in a range of activities, including musical performance. Little is understood about complex hand dexterity or how virtuoso expertise is acquired, due to the versatility of movement combinations available to complete any given task. This has historically limited progress of the field because of difficulties in measuring movements of the hand. Recent developments in methods of motion capture and analysis mean it is now possible to explore the intricate movements of the hand and fingers. These methods allow us insights into the neurophysiological mechanisms underpinning complex hand dexterity and motor learning. They also allow investigation into the key factors that contribute to injury, recovery and functional compensation. The application of such analytical techniques within musical performance provides a multidisciplinary framework for purposeful investigation into the process of learning and skill acquisition in instrumental performance. These highly skilled manual and cognitive tasks present the ultimate achievement in complex hand dexterity. This paper will review methods of assessing instrumental performance in music, focusing specifically on biomechanical measurement and the associated technical challenges faced when measuring highly dexterous activities.

“…It is highly recommended for plastic surgeons to carefully observe and evaluate the way certain musicians operate their instruments in order to analyze details of the sensory, strength, and dexterity needed for performance. As this practice is paramount to providing the best and most appropriate management for musicians [5], our aim is to provide a historical review of the interface between plastic surgeons and musicians, with an emphasis on special surgical considerations of their management.…”

Career-related injuries and disorders in professional musicians are prevalent across all their respective instruments and fields. They often endure long hours of intensive practice that demand high levels of precision, dexterity, and flexibility of their head, neck, hands, and upper extremities. Unlike the average patient, musicians are sensitive to even mild symptoms and deficits that can interfere with performance, which can potentially be career-threatening. Increasing attention to the care of musicians motivated performing arts medicine to tailor the practice to their individual and unique needs. Plastic surgeons are at the forefront of this practice; however, there are very limited reviews discussing plastic surgery management of the common injuries and disorders in musicians. This article reviews the most relevant literature of the past several decades regarding treatment modalities of the most common conditions endured by professional instrumentalists, with an emphasis on surgical considerations in the field of plastic surgery. A thorough literature search was performed for articles that encompass the interface between plastic surgery and musicians. We examined disorders of the head, ears, eyes, nose, throat, hands, and upper extremities including stress velopharyngeal incompetence, disruption of the embouchure, nerve entrapments, arthritis, traumatic injuries, focal dystonia, Linburg–Comstock syndrome, and overuse disorder. Overall, the goal of this review is to provide a summary of the existing and successful procedures performed to address prevalent musician conditions.
