Propositions concerning the thesis

Musculoskeletal Pain & Dysfunction in Musicians

1. Muscle activation patterns and musculoskeletal complaints (MSC) may not be related. (This thesis)

2. Posture characteristics of the upper body during music playing and MSC may not be related. (This thesis)

3. Professional bassists are suitable participants for studies about the possible influence of occupational exposure factors on MSC. (This thesis)

4. Construct building about motor skills in music medicine can produce new insights and hypotheses about that particular motor skill. (This thesis)

5. The visual assessment of global posture in routine practice should be done in a structured way. (This thesis)

6. The Pragmatic Hand Evaluation (PHE) is a suitable tool for the measurement of anthropometric characteristics of the hand at group level. (This thesis)

7. It is a challenge to explain the success of rehabilitation treatment of musicians, because some of its methods are based on unproven assumptions.

8. The difference between art and science is that in art, one looks for identity and individuality, whereas science is interested in quantitative data, connections and similarities (Martin Brandsma 2015).

9. Movement analysis of musicians deserves more attention from movement scientists.

10. It is a mystery why musicians are less concerned with the physical demands of their occupation compared to dancers and athletes.

11. Dwarsliggers houden de rails recht. (Jan Wybo Woldendorp’s motto)

12. Je ziet het pas, als je het weet. (Kees Hein Woldendorp’s motto; Danielle Renders, 2017; freely adapted from Johan Cruyff, 1970)
