Abstract:

Playing-related musculoskeletal disorders represent a commitment to the health and competence of musicians. This review aimed to analyse how musician's posture influences instrumental practice and the appearance of musculoskeletal disorders related to musical performance. To do this, a literature search was carried out in the Medline, CINAHL and Web of Science, and Pubmed databases, obtaining 14 valid articles after application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Several authors analysed posture during instrumental practice, posture and interpretive quality, and the appearance of musculoskeletal disorders related to musical performance and postural quality, based on distinct variables such as the instrument and interpretive anxiety. Posture seems to be one of the most important risk factors, influencing both musculoskeletal and interpretive levels. Physiotherapy could be effective for prevention and treatment.
