英文摘要 | The music profession, be it that of a soloist, chamber or orchestra musician, exerts an extraordinary physical and psychological strain on the performer. Like athlets, active professional musicians have to rely heavily on undisturbed body and mental functions. The same is applicable to dancers and actors. Painters may, not unlike musicians, suffer from disturbances of their fingers, hands and elbows. This paper, however, is based on my own experiences as a professional orchestra and chamber musician for more than 15 years of my life between 1950 and 1965, and, therefore, deals mainly with the musicians' situation. With the help of expert medical advice, the musician or artist may often be able to keep up or even to improve his physical and artistic performance. The main problems, which force instrumentalists to seek a physician's help are acute painful movement disorders in fingers, hands, arms, shoulders, neck or back. These are the areas, which are under severe tension during performance, particularly in players of string, keyboard, and wind instruments. In addition, wind instrumentalists frequently suffer from painful conditions at their lips, mouth and cheeks, which are under special strain, the so-called embouchure of the woodwind and brass players. In the treatment of dancers the physician has often to deal with foot, ankle, knee, hip and back trouble. Unfortunately medical practicioners in the West generally have only little time left for the individual patients, make do with purely symptomatic and topical measures, e.g. prescriptions of tranquillizers, injections of corticosteroids into hurting muscles and joints, handing-out analgetics or sleeping pills, and putting aching limbs into a plaster-cast for immobilization, without being able to treat the problems systematically and based on a sound analysis of the real condition. In the long run this can jeopardize the professional future of a musician or artist. He won't be invited any more to extra concerts because of his illness and incapacity to bear stress; he may, finally, even loose his job. This review deals with 210 musician patients of European, American and Asian origin who were treated by acupuncture in the German Research Institute of Chinese Medicine between 1985 and 1992. |
