The characteristics of an individual performer and the type of musical instrument played determine the musician's health problems. These are mainly musculosceletal ( overuse syndrome ), neurologic (entrapement neuropathies, focal dystonias), dermatologic, otolaryngologic and psychologic disorders. Other possible health problems are dental, cardiovascular, respiratory and ophtalmic. Although these health problems aren't life-threatening illnesses, they can be devastating to musicians physically, emotionally, socially, and financially. Therefore it is important to raise theawareness of musicians and doctors of playing-related health problems and to take measures before these health problems even emergeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaDruštvo Medicinski razgledi
