Musculoskeletal health in musicians : epidemiology & biomechanics
Among professional musicians with musculoskeletal complaints, the impact of these complaints on daily functioning is appreciated as more severe, compared non-musicians with musculoskeletal complaints. Also, healthcare usage is higher among musicians with these complaints. Musicians with complaints report worse illness perceptions compared to non-musicians with musculoskeletal complaints.

Female gender is the most important risk factor. Also among amateur musicians musculoskeletal complaints are frequent, the year prevalence of playing-related is 68%. Female gender, a sudden increase in playing time and playing a string instrument were the main risk factors.
Among professional musicians with musculoskeletal complaints, the impact of these complaints on daily functioning is appreciated as more severe, compared non-musicians with musculoskeletal complaints. Also, healthcare usage is higher among musicians with these complaints. Musicians with complaints report worse illness perceptions compared to non-musicians with musculoskeletal complaints.
In the last part of this thesis biomechanical aspects of violin playing are evaluated: Violinists with complaints show more activity of the superficial neck and shoulder muscles while playing the instrument, which is hypothesized to be the result of co-contraction. From a biomechanical point of view, playing without a shoulder rest, or with a shoulder rest with minimal height seems favourable, the latter being subjectively most comfortable by the violinists.Show less
