Mirosław Janiszewski, Anna Kluszczyńska, Ireneusz Pieszyński – The impact of musical performance on the occurence of selected disorders of body posture in children from a music school. Fizjoterapia Polska 2002; 2(1); 46-56

Abstract
Background. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of long-term musical training on the genesis of defective posture. Material and methods. The study involved a group of 92 children who were tested twice, once in 1992 again in 1998, used a specially developed screening test. Results. A greater rate of occurrence of posture defects, including especially scoliosis, was found in children who were heavily involved in playing musical instruments. This type played was found to correlate with type and frequency of particular posture defects. Conclusion. Systematic long term of musical instruments may cause more frequent in posturogenesis and a higher rate of scoliosis.

Abstract

Background. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of different music genres of different intensity levels on heart rate and arterial blood pressure in patients suffering from unresponsive wakefulness syndrome.
Material and methods. The study group comprised 16 patients in stable vegetative state; selected hemodynamic parameters were evaluated during and after exposure to different music genres of different intensity levels.
Results. The results revealed a significant stimulating effect of music played at 80 dB on several hemodynamic parameters of patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome. Disco music caused an increase in heart rate as well as elevation of systolic and diastolic pressures. Rock music only resulted in significant systolic blood pressure elevation.
No statistically significant alterations in hemodynamic parameters was noted when music was played at 60 dB.
Conclusions. Exposure to music may cause significant alterations of heart rate and arterial blood pressure of patients in a vegetative state – depending on music genre and intensity level. Changes in hemodynamic parameters might be indicative of an impact of music on the emotional state, which is closely associated with cardiovascular responses.
