Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

966
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Area of Science:

  • Military Medicine
  • Occupational Health
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background:

  • The Department of Defense employs numerous full-time musicians.
  • Military musicians face unique occupational exposures including prolonged static postures, repetitive motions, and physical training demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and factors associated with injuries in active-duty U.S. Army Band musicians.

Main Methods:

  • An electronic survey collected data on demographics, occupational demands, health behaviors, and injuries from U.S. Army Band musicians.
  • Survey responses were integrated with medical and physical fitness records.
  • Descriptive statistics and regression analyses identified factors linked to injuries.

Main Results:

  • 81% of surveyed musicians reported an injury in the past year, primarily due to overuse (54%).
  • Leading causes included running for physical training (21%), repetitive playing motions (11%), and prolonged standing (11%).
  • Factors associated with injury included female sex, older age, lower aerobic fitness, higher body fat percentage, and extended marching/standing durations.

Conclusions:

  • Injury prevention efforts should target overuse and repetitive motion injuries in Army Band musicians.
  • Strategies may include balanced physical training, ergonomic modifications, and scheduled breaks.
