Brief summary

Background: musculoskeletal disorders related to instrumental practice (TMRPI) affect many pianists. Objectives: to know the prevalence of TMRPI in the population of Spanish pianists and its relationship with gender, age, physical activity, number of years playing the piano and the number of hours per week. Design: transversal study based on a survey that included 30 volunteers of both genders, aged between 17 and 65, who played the piano for at least 2 years. Method. due to the absence of specific questionnaires for pianist populations on MMRPI, a questionnaire was conducted combining a validated questionnaire on MMR, the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) with an ad hoc questionnaire created specifically for this study
