Neck
• Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
– Compression or stretching of the neurovascular
structures of the neck leading into the arm
• Cause pain, tingling, numbness, heavy sensation, cold
to the touch, or cold sensation
• Can affect any part of the lateral neck or arm

Shoulder
• Impingement Syndrome
– Compression of the structures in the subacromial
space
• Biceps tendon
• Supraspinatus tendon
• Subacromial Bursae
– Compression of this space is significantly
increased when the arm is elevated
Elbow, Wrist, Hand & Fingers
• Medial Epicondylitis
– Aggravation of the wrist / finger flexors
• Lateral Epicondylitis
– Aggravation of the wrist / finger extensors
• Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
– Impingement of medial nerve in the wrist
• Finger Pathologies
Flexors of the Wrist, Hand, and Fingers
Palmar wrist, hand, fingers
the elbow
Medial epicondyle of
Flexors of the Wrist, Hand, and Fingers
• When the wrist is flexed, there is a:
– Decrease in finger flexor muscle force
– Decrease in precision and dexterity
– Due to a phenomenon called active insufficiency
of the flexors and passive insufficiency of the
antagonists (extensor muscles)

Physical Preparation
Instrument and Environment Analysis
• Making sure the instrument is placed in an
ergonomically correct position
– Support stands, straps, athletic taping, orthotic
device
• Correct seating
• Lighting
• Placement of music stand
Recommendations
Recommendations using everything
we now know
• Proper outside-of-music activity is important for
increased performance ability and injury reduction
• Reduce stress
– Let pain be your guide
• Appropriate warm-up is essential
– Focusing on the problem areas discussed in this lecture
Warm-up
• Finger flexion and extension
• Arm and trunk range of motion
• Stretching
– From fingers to low back, every muscle group has
the potential to cause a pain syndrome
• Simple music
• More complex music
