Performing artists often sustain musculoskeletal overuse injuries. Proper treatment, including orthoses, aids healing and return to performance.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedics
  • Performing Arts Medicine

Background:

  • Performing artists require high functional levels for their careers.
  • Musculoskeletal overuse injuries, including myositis, myofascial pain syndrome, tendonitis, capsulitis, and ligament sprains, are common.
  • The underlying pathology for these injuries is often similar throughout the limb.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the comprehensive treatment of musculoskeletal overuse injuries in performing artists.
  • To highlight the role of orthoses as an adjunct therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common injuries and pathologies affecting performing artists.
  • Discussion of integrated treatment strategies.
  • Emphasis on the use of orthoses in conjunction with other therapies.

Main Results:

  • Treatment involves medications (e.g., nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), therapeutic exercises, technique training, and orthoses.
  • Orthoses, when properly designed and used, contribute to pain and inflammation reduction.
  • Orthoses can help decrease contracture formation and improve flexibility and range of motion.

Conclusions:

  • A multimodal treatment approach is essential for performing artists' recovery.
  • Orthoses play a crucial role in enhancing healing time and facilitating a full return to performance.
  • Addressing musculoskeletal overuse injuries effectively supports the longevity and success of performing artists.
