Summary

Orchestra musicians are exposed to prolonged asymmetric postures and repetitive upper-quarter loading that may affect postural control. This exploratory randomized controlled trial examined whether a four-week mobilization-based exercise program, delivered once or twice weekly, was associated with changes in static sensory-dependent balance and dynamic voluntary weight-shifting control.
