About this study
Official title: Relationship Between Playing-Related Factors and Occupational Balance in Professional Violinists
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.
Read the detailed description
Occupational balance is the participation in and satisfaction derived from different elements of daily life, including work. Playing performance affects occupational balance of musicians so that complaints arising from the playing of their instruments may negatively affect occupational balance. Forty-five violinists at six different symphony orchestras and conservatories in Istanbul were included. The Personal Information Form, the 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) were used. Spearman correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between the variables.
