| Abstract |
Forty-nine musicians who had presented to their University's health service for performance-related hand problems were followed by survey one year later. Results suggest that most musicians who seek medical care for such problems will be back to their baseline level of functioning with few or no symptoms in less than a year. However, a significant minority will be symptomatic and at least mildly limited in ability to perform. Although the sample size was small, findings are similar to those already documented in the literature. |
