| Full Abstract: |
A questionnaire answered by professional classical musicians in the Rhône-Alpes region of France showed a predominance of musculoskeletal disorders in string players, and bucco-dental and auditory disorders in wind and brass players. The results may be used to draw conclusions as regards a more organized and effective response to the health problems of orchestral musicians, and above all as regards prevention strategies. |
