Search for: [Abstract = "% of the musicians studied. The most frequent pain areas were\: lumbar spine, cervical spine, shoulder girdle and upper limbs, and thoracic spine. As many as 93% of instrumentalists reported that their posture had deteriorated since they began working as musicians, 80% reported pain symptoms in the temporomandibular joints, and 38% reported hearing disorders. Conclusions Long\-term playing of wind instruments has a beneficial effect on some respiratory system performance parameters and respiratory muscle strength. Unfortunately, the forced position of the body and the long\-lasting static type of work lead to chronic pain syndromes, which in turn may be the cause of degenerative changes in joints and the spine. Therefore, preventive measures and the search for effective corrective and therapeutic methods are crucial."]
