“…No floor or ceiling effects were found when considering this specific group. Scores reported in the current study were similar to prior reported results in a Spanish conservatory population [26] and correspond with the disability level of highlevel amateur student musicians at the end of an intensive music project [27]. Results of the general DASH questionnaire in this population of music students are comparable with prior reported disability levels of college instrumental musicians [7], and are only somewhat higher than disability levels in young, active adults without complaints [28].…”

The performing arts module showed good internal consistency, good discriminative validity and moderate construct validity in a population of conservatory students. Implications for Rehabilitation Musicians suffer frequently from musculoskeletal disorders, mostly in the upper extremity. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire is a well-known outcome measure, which also includes a performing arts module. This study is the first to explore psychometric properties of the performing arts module. The performing arts module of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire showed good internal consistency, good discriminative validity, and moderate construct validity.

“…Some 22 studies also investigated the association between different MSS outcomes. Similar to the extent/severity studies, the majority (86%) of the studies of risk factors reported general symptom outcomes[27,28,30,38,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]53,54,60,64,65,69,71,74,76,[79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][91][92][93][95][96][97][106][107][108]110,111,115,116,119,122,125,126,[129][130][131][133][134][135][138][139][140][141][142][154][155]…”

The authors aimed to characterize the current evidence base regarding musicians' musculoskeletal symptoms (MSS), in order to identify gaps for future research. A systematic search was conducted to identify peer-review studies published in English in 2007-2016 that investigated musicians' MSS. Narrative reviews, case reports, protocols, and questionnaire or program development papers were excluded. Data were synthesized descriptively in order to identify gaps in the current evidence base. Five systematic reviews and 153 primary studies (133 unique) were included in this review. The majority (71%) of studies investigated professional musicians and/or university music students, with orchestral musicians being the most commonly investigated group. The majority of studies investigated the extent of the problem (68%) and/or associated factors (54%). Eight studies compared the prevalence of MSS outcomes with other populations. A range of risk factors were investigated; however, few studies used longitudinal designs. A total of 16 intervention studies were identified (3 clinical, 13 public health), with 12 investigating education or exercise programs. There is a need for research into musicians beyond classical university music students and professional orchestral musicians, and these musical subgroups should be compared to determine the most at risk groups of musicians. Studies looking at potential risk factors should move towards longitudinal designs so that the temporal relationship of these factors and MSS could be established, where cross-sectional designs have indicated that an association exists. Intervention studies should be based upon the risk factors identified, and extend beyond education and exercise programs.

“…Performance-related musculoskeletal disorder (PRMD) is universally recognized as common phenomena amongst professional orchestral musicians, with career-ending potential [ 1 – 6 ]. Between 39% and 69% of musicians have pain affecting playing capacity, and nearly 12% are forced to permanently retire [ 7 ]. One author found that 93% of musicians who responded to a survey reported musculoskeletal symptoms [ 8 ].…”

Patient: Female, 64-year-old Final Diagnosis: Atlas subluxation complex Symptoms: Hip pain • neck pain • wrist pain Medication: — Clinical Procedure: Chiropractic adjustment • manual therapy Specialty: Family Medicine Objective: Challenging differential diagnosis Background: Music performance is a highly stressful activity, requiring skilled neuromuscular dexterity. A lack of reported strategies for musicians suffering performance-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) exists. Papers investigating the role that postural distortions or spinal structural anomalies that could play a role in setting the stage for PRMD do not exist. The purpose of this paper was to provide a description and discussion of the use of a specialized upper cervical manual correction at the cranio-cervical junction (CCJ) to treat a violist who had disabling pain in her wrists, arms, neck, and hip. Differential diagnoses are required regarding possible confounding elements within the cervical spine. Case Report: After 40 years of music performance, a violist experienced severe pain while attempting to play the simplest student musical pieces. Early retirement seemed imminent. To determine appropriate chiropractic approach, the patient’s clinical assessment included active range of motion, chiropractic tests, palpation, and radiographic study. Postural distortions, hypertonic muscles, joint pain, arthritis, and ponticulus posticus (PP) were noted. Upper cervical spine orthogonal radiographic series were used to develop a correction strategy. These images identified excursion of the cervical spine away from the vertical axis and C0–C1–C2 misalignments. After performing low-velocity, low-force manual correction to the CCJ, the patient experienced immediate relief of wrist pain. Over a 9-month follow-up period, the patient reported gradual decrease of pain and increased stamina while performing. Upon completing chiropractic care, the violist’s career was restored. Conclusions: This case supports the hypothesis that evaluating and correcting spinal structures proximal to painful extremities may represent an efficient and long-lasting solution for PRMD.
