Musicians, as well as other performing artists, may have their careers interrupted by, interfered with, or terminated by occupational health problems involving the neuro-musculoskeletal system. Adverse working conditions, organization, and activity may affect the health of musicians in all age groups and at all levels of performing ability. Instrument-specific health problems are related to excessive force, static loading, repetitive movement, and duration of musical performance. Important risk factors are 1) change in technique or instrument; 2) intense preparation for a performance; 3) preparation of a new and difficult repertoire; and 4) prolonged periods of performance without rest. Treatment protocols and health promotion or disease prevention programs are being developed in collaboration with the performing arts community.
音乐家以及其他表演艺术家的职业生涯可能会因涉及神经肌肉骨骼系统的职业健康问题而中断、受到干扰或终止。恶劣的工作条件、组织和活动可能会影响各个年龄段和各种表演能力水平的音乐家的健康。特定乐器引发的健康问题与过度用力、静态负荷、重复动作以及音乐表演的时长有关。重要的风险因素包括：1）技术或乐器的改变；2）为演出进行的高强度准备；3）准备新的、难度大的曲目；4）长时间不间断的表演。目前正在与表演艺术界合作制定治疗方案以及健康促进或疾病预防计划。
