| Abstract |
A survey of musicians taking part in an occupational therapy programme indicated that the programme was perceived by most of them to be effective in decreasing the symptoms for which they sought treatment and in increasing work productivity. The survey also showed that overuse problems were reported more frequently among female musicians, the right hand was the most common site of injury, and pianists and string instrumentalists were more frequently seen in therapy than any other types of musicians. The survey helped to identify the most effective types of treatment. |
