Instrument ergonomics is the study of the interaction between a musician, body positioning, and the physical requirement of classic instrument design. The instrument tolerates minimal design changes because of an unyielding mechanical structure that has developed over centuries. Additionally, the musicians' performance technique allows few alterations to the delicate style of movement learned throughout a lifetime of study. The resultant challenge of instrument ergonomics is addressed by physicians and therapists who specialize in the physical problems of performing artists. |
