Abstract

The rising popularity of people taking on an upper-string instrument, whether as a leisurely activity or a career, may allow a number of complications to emerge. Methods designed to prevent the occurrence of playing-related physical problems have been neither rigorously tested nor commonly discussed and put into practice in the upper-string instrumentalist community. Given the prevalent and seriousness of playing-related injuries of upper-string instrumentalists, this paper aims to first address the causes, types, and levels of playing-related pain and injury of upper-string instrumentalists and their literacy of and accessibility to injury and pain prevention methods. The paper provides effective practices and methods for upper-string instrumentalists injury and pain prevention.
