Abstract

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate 1) the prevalence of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) in a music college students, 2) factors associated with the PRMDs at different body sites across all instrument types, and 3) also instrument-specific risk factors.
Methods: 197 out of 364 music students (54.1%) of Seoul National University majoring in piano, wind, string and Korean traditional instruments participated in the study. The self-assessment questionnaires were administered to assess the prevalence and risk factors of PRMDs. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regressions.
Results: The prevalence of self-perceived symptoms of PRMDs was 67.0%. While there was no significant difference in prevalence by instrument types in the Chi-square test, PRMDs were significantly associated with the instrument types, between the Korean and wind groups, in multivariate analyses (p < 0.05). Instrument-specific factors significantly associated with PRMDs included ages in the Korean instrument group and sex, playing years and regular breaks during practice in the wind group in the multivariate regression analyses.
Conclusion: This study showed the difference in risk factors for PRMDs by instrument types. This understanding will facilitate the development of effective management and prevention programs for music students.
