A STUDY OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS OF PIANO PLAYING BY JONAS SEN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MA IN MUSIC SEPTEMBER 1991 ------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT: The present dissertation is a study of injuries and other occupational disorders related to piano playing. The symptoms of these ailments will be described and the causes investigated. Pianists' problems often appear simple but, as I will try to show, they may have complex ramifications and be of different origins. Various therapies; treatment of the body and treatment of the mind will therefore be explored. Many case histories will be presented; of these, the problems and recovery of three pianists whom I interviewed personally will play the leading part and will be discussed in some depth throughout the thesis. ========== [cut... entire thesis is 159K] At 11:15 AM 3/23/99 -0600, you wrote: >Hi, > >I have received a question from a client about carpal tunnel syndrome.
