Abstract

BackgroundThe prevalence of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders ranges from 46% to 90% in adult musicians. This pain sometimes forces the interruption of instrumental practice.ObjectiveTo describe the prevalence and characteristics of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders in music students, relating it to gender, and the relationship between the number of hours of weekly instrumental practice and the number of pain locations.MethodsAn online questionnaire was conducted with university music students, which assesses the presence of pain, location, intensity and interference of pain comparing gender, and the number of weekly practice hours.Results435 valid responses were obtained. 93.3% of women vs. 88.3% of men (p < 0.001) report having suffered from some type of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders. Pain intensity is 2.99 points for women and 1.74 for men, and pain interference is 3.42 and 2.16 respectively (p < 0.001). The number of hours dedicated to instrumental does not influence the number of pain locations (p > 0.05).ConclusionMost music students report playing-related musculoskeletal disorders, presenting on average more than 3 body pain locations. This pain is considered mild, with low interference on mood, quality of life and instrumental practice. Women report pain more often and more intensely, however, men report pain in more anatomical regions.

音乐系大学生肌肉骨骼疼痛的特征：一项横断面调查。

在成年音乐家中，与演奏相关的肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率从46%到90%不等。这种疼痛有时迫使乐器练习中断。目的了解音乐学生演奏相关肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率、特点、与性别的关系以及每周乐器练习时数与疼痛部位的关系。方法对高校音乐系学生进行在线问卷调查，评估疼痛的存在、疼痛的部位、疼痛的强度、疼痛的干扰、疼痛的性别、每周练习时数等。结果共获得435份有效问卷。93.3%女性vs. 88.3%男性（p p p > 0.05）。结论大多数音乐学生报告与演奏有关的肌肉骨骼疾病，平均表现为3个以上的身体疼痛部位。这种疼痛被认为是轻微的，对情绪、生活质量和乐器练习的干扰很小。女性更经常和更强烈地报告疼痛，然而，男性报告疼痛在更多的解剖区域。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present relevant information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints. It will provide readers with both 1) a general fund of knowledge on the assessment and management of specific problems and 2) new information considered to be state-of-the-art in the field. The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty. In each issue clinicians can find information which they can use in their patient setting the very next day.
