Objective: Musculoskeletal disorders can be observed in many professions, including professional musicians. The aim of this study is to compare musculoskeletal system problems between university students who play guitar as a leisure activity and those who do not.
Method: The study included 64 university students aged 18-30, comprising 32 guitar players (guitar players group) and 32 non-guitar players (non-guitar players group). Pain levels of participants were assessed using the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), while the physical condition and functionality of their elbows and upper extremities were evaluated using the Quick Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Q-DASH) and the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ) for musculoskeletal disorders.
Results: At the end of the study, differences were found between the two groups in CMDQ data for the back, right knee, and left knee (p<0.05). It was determined that guitar-playing students had more discomfort in the back region compared to non-guitar players (p=0.048), while non-guitar-playing students reported more discomfort in the right (p=0.012) and left knee (p=0.006) regions compared to guitar players.
Conclusion: In our study, there was a statistically significant difference in back pain in students who played guitar compared to those who did not play guitar. There was a statistically significant difference in knee pain in non-guitar players compared to those who played guitar. It is recommended that students who play guitar should be given physical ergonomics training and strengthening-stretching exercises for possible musculoskeletal problems.

GİTAR ÇALAN ÜNİVERSİTE ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN KAS-İSKELET SİSTEMİ PROBLEMLERİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Öz

Amaç: Çalışma ile ilgili Kas İskelet Sistemi Rahatsızlıkları, profesyonel müzisyenler de dahil olmak üzere birçok meslekte görülebilmektedir Bu çalışmanın amacı serbest zaman aktivitesi olarak gitar çalan üniversite öğrencileri ile enstrüman çalmayan üniversite öğrencileri arasındaki kas-iskelet sistemi problemlerini karşılaştırmaktır.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya 32 gitar çalan (gitar çalanlar grubu) ve 32 gitar çalmayan (gitar çalmayanlar grubu) olmak üzere 18-30 yaş arasında 64 üniversite öğrencisi dahil edildi. Katılımcıların ağrı seviyelerinin değerlendirilmesi Kısa-Form McGill-Melzack Ağrı Anketi (SF-MPQ), dirsek ve üst ekstremitelerinin fiziksel durumu ve fonksiyonelliği değerlendirilmesi Quick-Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Q-DASH) ve kas-iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıkları Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ) ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmanın sonunda iki grubun CMDQ sırt, sağ ve sol diz verilerinde farklılık tespit edildi (p<0,05). Gitar çalan öğrencilerin sırt bölgesinde rahatsızlıklarının gitar çalmayanlara göre daha fazla olduğu, gitar çalmayan öğrencilerin sağ ve sol diz bölgesi rahatsızlıklarının gitar çalan öğrencilere göre daha fazla olduğu tespit edildi.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, gitar çalan öğrencilerde, gitar çalmayanlara kıyasla sırt ağrısı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık göstermiştir. Gitar çalmayanlarda, gitar çalanlara göre diz ağrısı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık göstermiştir. Gitar çalan öğrencilere, oluşabilecek kas-iskelet sistemi problemlerine yönelik fiziksel ergonomi eğitimi ve kuvvetlendirme-germe egzersizleri verilmesi önerilir.
