OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES IN THE MUSICIANS
Keywords:
Repetitive movements, ergonomics, postural hygiene.Abstract
Musicians, as any other professional guild, are victims of professional illnesses, that is to say due to the work although many of us never associate music with work.
Independently from the instrument played, such occupation imposes a fixed posture and a series of monotonous, repetitive movements, which may provoke different lessons, and the adoption of incorrect positions that kept for a long time can affect the spine dorsal, provoking permanent deformations on it.
Research made on instrumentalists' musicians indicate that almost half of them suffer medical problems related with their activity, some of which threaten or even make their careers stop.
Most of such pathologies could be avoided if music students were taught posture ergonomic norms from the beginning of their learning.
