Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Piano playing is similar athletic activity because it has high demands in practice and requirements to play musical notes accurately. Recent studies provide evidence that hand size is a crucial risk factor for pain and subsequent injury among pianist. AIM & OBJECTIVE: The aim of my study is to do biomechanical analysis of hand web space in relation with dimension of piano among amateur pianist. METHODOLOGY: It is an observational study in which 20 amateur piano players were recruited according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two different dimensions of piano, a grand piano with 230 mm and upright piano with 190 mm of octave length were fitted. The participants were made to play the musical repertoire and scales consequently in two pianos. Visual analogue scale was used to measure the pain and speed of the performance was evaluated using timer. The hand position was recorded in digital camera and analyzed using kinovea software 0.9.5. OUTCOME MEASURE: VAS score, Postural analysis, Stop watch RESULTS & CONCLUSION: This study concludes that there is a correlation between hand web space and dimension of piano. This study also concludes that women have higher intensity of pain in both grand piano and upright piano in comparison with men. The possible prevention of future occurrence of playing related musculoskeletal disorder is to seek a suitable modified piano for small handed pianist to minimize the intensity of pain and to increase their level of performance.
