The influence of sensorimotor intervention on body perception and quality of movement in string musicians.
Kutinová, Eliška ; Mišinová, Klára (advisor) ; Voráčová, Helena (referee)
Playing a musical instrument is a very beautiful, but very physically demanding craft. Many musicians suffer from musculoskeletal pain caused, among other things, by a rigid, unchanging posture and a focus on performance at the expense of comfort. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the influence of music production on the musculoskeletal system of the musician and the possibilities of therapy aimed at improving sensorimotor skills and kinesthesia. The practical part followed the influence of therapy inspired by the Feldenkrais method and Alexander's technique on the movement of the musician during and outside the performance. The research was conducted on 19 professional string musicians. Testing of probands consisted of measurements with inertial sensors, objective measurements of sensorimotor skills and kinesthesia and a questionnaire survey. The parameter measured by the inertial sensors was a jerk (indicates the smoothness of the movement). The results of the measurements show that, even after a single therapy, the smoothness of the chest movement improved statistically significantly.

Kutinová, Eliška ; Kobesová, Alena (advisor) ; Mišinová, Klára (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with musculoskelatal disorders in instrumental musicians directly related to playing. In the theoretical part, the basic biomechanical movements are described and the body settings during the play of the individual instruments. The thesis compares studies dealing with the issue of disability of the musculoskeletal system, the most frequent areas of disability, their frequency and cause, with a description of the musicians is discussed. The practical part contains a questionnaire which maps the workload of the 28 musicians; the most frequent occurrence of difficulties related to the playing of the individual instruments; occurrence in the time frame and their intensity.
