Summary: | Introduction: It is well known that musicians are a group prone to suffer from playing-related musculoskeletal disorders. Professional orchestra musicians play for several hours a week and have to fight against pain caused by their profession. The aim of this study was to explore and describe self-reported complaints among professional orchestra musicians and to compare its intensity and the prevalence between string and wind instruments.Material and Methods: Hundred and twelve professional orchestra musicians from the three main professional orchestras from the North of Portugal were individually interviewed about the prevalence and the intensity (measured by verbal numerical scale for pain) of their playing-related musculoskeletal disorders.Results: About two third (62.5%) of the interviewed musicians presented playing-related musculoskeletal disorders during the time of the interview. Despite there are no significant statistic values between groups, results suggested that playing-related musculoskeletal disorders are more common in string players and more intense in wind players.Discussion: Referring to the prevalence of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders, our data is in line with other studies from different countries. More than half of professional orchestra musicians in the North of Portugal are playing with a mild to moderate pain.Conclusion: Future studies focusing on working-related problems among professional orchestra musicians in Portugal would be useful to better describe the problem of occupational diseases among performing artist. |

Os músicos profissionais de orquestra trabalham semanalmente durante várias horas e deparam-se frequentemente com a dor como consequência da sua profissão. O presente estudo pretende descrever a prevalência e a severidade das lesões músculoesqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho que afetam os músicos de orquestras profissionais do Norte de Portugal, comparando instrumentistas de cordas e de sopros.Material e Métodos: Cento e doze músicos das três orquestras profissionais do Norte de Portugal foram entrevistados individualmente de forma a determinar a prevalência e a intensidade da dor (medida pela escala verbal numérica de dor) das suas lesões músculoesqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho.Resultados: Aproximadamente dois terços (62,5%) dos músicos entrevistados apresentaram lesões músculoesqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho durante a entrevista. Apesar de não se verificarem diferenças estatisticamente significativas, os resultados obtidos sugerem que as lesões músculoesqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho são mais frequentes nos instrumentistas de cordas e mais intensas nos instrumentistas de sopro.Discussão: Os resultados referentes à prevalência de lesões músculoesqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho são similares a resultados de outros estudos realizados em diferentes países. Mais da metade dos músicos de orquestras profissional no Norte de Portugal apresentam diariamente dor leve a moderada.Conclusão: Verifica-se a necessidade de realização de investigações futuras com o objetivo de estudar com maior profundidade os problemas profissionais que afetam os músicos em Portugal.Ordem dos Médicos2017-04-28info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/mswordimage/jpegapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7568oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/7568Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 30 No. 4 (2017): April; 302-306Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 30 N.º 4 (2017): Abril; 302-3061646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7568https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7568/5005https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7568/8368https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7568/8741https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7568/9105https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7568/9106Direitos de Autor (c) 2017 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSousa, Cláudia MariaMachado, Jorge PereiraGreten, Henry JohannesCoimbra, Daniela2022-12-20T11:05:15Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/7568Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:19:28.508776Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
