About this study
Official title: THE EFFECT OF PROPRIOCEPTIVE TRAINING ON UPPER EXTREMITY FUNCTIONS AND MUSCLE ACTIVATION IN STRING INSTRUMENT PLAYERS
Musculoskeletal problems that occur in musicians are usually in the form of soft tissue injuries affecting muscles, tendons, nerves and ligaments. These injuries can cause pain, weakness and sensory changes, making it impossible to play the instrument.It is aimed to include 50 adult musicians who meet the inclusion criteria from among the performers in Elazığ Culture and Music Association, Fırat University State Conservatory Department, State Classical Turkish Music choir and musicians who are actively performing instruments within the borders of Elazığ province. Pain, posture, upper extremity function and performance will be evaluated in this study.

These injuries can cause pain, weakness and sensory changes, making it impossible to play the instrument.It is aimed to include 50 adult musicians who meet the inclusion criteria from among the performers in Elazığ Culture and Music Association, Fırat University State Conservatory Department, State Classical Turkish Music choir and musicians who are actively performing instruments within the borders of Elazığ province. the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of proprioceptive training on upper extremity function and performance in musicians (stringed instrument performers). Upper Extremity Function Assessment, Upper Extremity Performance Assessment, Posture Assessment, Pain Assessment will be evaluated. Proprioceptive training will be applied 3 days a week for 8 weeks. The training will be prepared to increase the stabilization of the muscles in the shoulder, shoulder girdle and back that are active for long periods of time due to performance.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Upper Extremity Performance Assessment
Purdue Pegboard test will be used for upper extremity performance evaluation. The tests will be performed with right, left and both hands. The time to complete each parameter will be recorded in seconds (sec)
Measured: 10 minutes
Secondary outcomes (1)
Upper Extremity Function Assessment
Grip and pinch strength will be assessed to evaluate upper extremity function. grip strength will be assessed using a hand dynamometer, pinch strength will be assessed using a pinchmeter
Measured: 10 minutes
