The occurence of musculoskeletal disorders and level of upper trunk postural stability measured by upper quarter Y-balance test in guitar players
Jeriová, Daniela ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Opatrná Novotná, Irena (referee)
Title: The occurence of musculoskeletal disorders and level of upper trunk postural stability measured by upper quarter Y-balance test in guitar players Objective: The thesis deals with arts medicine, health disorders and postural stability of guitar players. The aim of this diploma thesis is to determine prevalence of playing-related musculoskeletal disorers (PRMD) throught questionnaire and upper trunk postural stability level occuring in guitar players throught upper quarter Y-balance test (UQYBT). Methods: This experimental pilot study included 20 guitar player aged 18-25, playing the instrument 10-14 h per week at least. Prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders was measured by modified Nordic Musculoskeletal Diosorders Questionnaire. Definition of musculoskeletal disorders was specified by Zaza's PRMD definition. Annual and weekly prevalence of PRMD was determined and its effect on daily activities. Upper trunk postural stability level was measured by upper quarter Y-balance test. Composite score was calculated from maximal distances reached in each direction for analysis. Descriptive statistics, Microsoft Excel program and statistics method Shapiro-Wilk test were used for data analysis. Results: Annual prevalence of PRMD was found in 90 % of guitar players. PRMD in guitar players upper trunk...

Possible relation between instrument playing and occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders among guitarists and pianists
Trněná, Gabriela ; Pospíšilová, Mariana (advisor) ; Tolar, Jan (referee)
Playing a musical instrument requires hours of exposure to a fixed position and a performance of greatly repeated movements. This excessive physical load in combination with other factors can often result in playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMD). This thesis specifies the definition of PRMD, clarifies the idea of musician's medicine as a fairly new specialization, titles the most commonly occurring medical conditions and risk factors in musicians with an emphasis on guitarists (classical and electric guitar players) and pianists. It also offers recommendations on how to play these instruments with respect to the ergonomics. The aim of practical part of the thesis was to find the possible relation between PRMD and instrument playing among guitarists and pianists in the last 12 months. It was composed of three parts: questionnaire of musculoskeletal disorders, clinical examination and video-analysis of instrument playing. The study surveyed 401 guitarists and pianists without specified instrumental level. 19 of these participated in the clinical examination. The analysis of questionnaire data revealed PRMD in 55,6 % musicians mainly localized in neck (19,8 %); more specifically, in pianists in neck and both hands (equally 27,4 %); however, in guitarists in left hand (18,6 %). Asymmetry has...

Risks of uncompensated repetitive upper limb load for the musculoskeletal system of percussionists.
Mandlík, Kryštof ; Bitnar, Petr (advisor) ; Sobotka, Daniel (referee)
Bibilographic identification MANDLÍK, Kryštof. Risks of uncompensated repetitive upper limb load for the musculoskeletal system of percussionists. Prague: Charles University, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Department of Rehabilitation and sports Medicine, 2021. Supervisor PhDr. Petr Bitnar. Abstract This thesis addresses the issue of musculoskeletal disorders in drummers. The aim of the thesis was to collect and classify the existing knowledge about performing arts medicine with a focus on musicians. Furthermore to gather and classify knowledge about aspects of playing drums and, last but not least, about the risk factors associated with this activity. This thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. In the theoretical part, a search was created on the basis of available Czech and foreign professional literature. Practical part consisted of an assessment of three probands playing drums and a follow-up therapy resulting from the assesment. The same assessment was performed after the therapy. In the final discussion, the possible causes of some changes and found phenomena were analyzed on the basis of a comparison of the input and output assessments. Keywords drummers, PRMD, performing arts medicine, upper extremities I agree the thesis paper to be lent within the library service.

Prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among wind instrument players
Lonek, Jan ; Pavlů, Dagmar (advisor) ; Reckziegelová, Petra (referee)
Title The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among wind instrument players Objectives The aim of this thesis is to determine the prevalence of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMD) in players on wind instruments in the Czech Republic, to determine their consequences and to identify related factors. Methods This thesis has the character of a cross-sectional study with a questionnaire survey. The study included 308 players on wind musical instruments. Outcomes The prevalence of PRMD was 55 % for the whole music group and 62 % for professional players. The higher prevalence of PRMD was statistically significantly associated with the student status (p=0.001), female sex (p=0.026), playing time on the dominant instrument weekly (p=0.001), and earlier incidence of PRMD (p=0.000). 31 % of players confirmed wrist/hand problems, 31 % confirmed problems in the neck area and 28 % confirmed problems in the upper back area. Because of PRMD, participants most frequently visited a health specialist such as a physical therapist and when dealing with their difficulties alone, most often they did some kind of physical activity. Conclusion The prevalence of PRMD in professional players was at a lower level than in foreign literature. Students, women, players playing more hours per week and players...
