Introduction: The aim of current study was assessing of relationship between violin playing history with pain prevalence and musculature abnormalities in violin players and presenting proposed protocol with the aim of correction. Therefore, some studies assessed pain prevalence and musculature abnormalities in violin players, which are affected by frequent and long-term playing violin in a steady posture, and reported different results.
Methodology: one hundred and fifty music students with mean (age 22.5±3 and playing history 9.56±3.2 years) answered Corner questionnaire to assessed pain prevalence. Then, thirty of them consist 15 females and 15 males were chosen to be evaluated and measured the six abnormalities (Forward head, Uneven shoulder, Cortical, Scoliosis, Psychosis and Lordships). To assessed Forward head, Uneven shoulder, and Cortical abnormalities marker and Kin ova software are was used , Scoliosis was measured by Cliometrics and finally flexible ruler was used to measure Psychosis and Lordships abnormalities.
Results: Statistical results have shown that the neck pain in males (14.03±27.2) and upper back pain in females (12.5±22) were more prevalent in relation to other regions and there was not any significant relationship (p≥0.05) between violin playing history and musculature abnormalities
Discussion: Eventually, the current study have presented that pain prevalence in neck and upper back was more significant than other regions and violin playing history did not have any interference in musculature abnormalities. Because of some limitations in gathering population of current study, it is suggested that more studies with more numbers of population are needed to be done to compared with our study.
