Abstract: Studies in the past decade have shown that a significant
proportion of instrumentalists report musculoskeletal problems
severely affecting their musical performance. Musicians
endure daily intensive use of their upper extremities,
frequently placing them in bizarre positions. Their training
schedules are rigorous and long term Predisposing factors to,
and treatment for, overuse syndromes, tendinitis, and tendon
trauma commonly encountered by musical performers are discussed
at length. Nerve entrapment has also surfaced as a major
problem in musicians, and the means of evaluation and
treatment and the role of surgery are put forth. Techniques for
studying and analyzing the difficulties faced by
instrumentalists are summarized.
