متن کاملSurveillance of musculoskeletal disorders and risk factors in orchestral musicians
A surveillance system for musculoskeletal injury and associated possible risk factors in orchestral musicians in Australia was developed as part of the Sound Practice Project. Participants were members of any of the eight main professional orchestras in Australia. Three approaches to surveillance were developed: one paper-based and two web-based. All three essentially asked the same questions. ...
