No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will analyze and compare scapular kinematics and muscle activation patterns between upper string musicians with and without neck pain during arm elevation and playing tasks (open strings, scales, musical pieces), providing insights for performance training and rehabilitation programs to reduce playing-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Conditions

  • Non-specific Neck Pain
  • Playing Related Musculoskeletal Disorders

Interventions

DEVICE

motion capture system, surface electromyography

Arm elevation (0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°), open string playing, scale practice, and musical piece performance
