Brief Summary

As the violin is the riskiest string instrument played by Turkish musicians, violinists were chosen for the sample in this study. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between posture, pain, functionality and occupational balance in violinists. The hypothesis was that good playing posture, lack of pain, and functionality affect occupational balance positively.

Conditions

Keywords

Functionality; Playing-related pain; Posture; Occupational balance; Violinists

Outcome Measures

Investigators used Edinburgh Handedness Inventory, the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale, the Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand - Sports/Musicians (DASH-SM), the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment, and the 11-item revised version of the Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ11 - T). All have their Turkish validity studies. A correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between the variables.
