“Dr. Collins and colleagues have recently had their findings from a new research study published in HAND.The purpose of this study was to evaluate hand/finger fine motor function in musicians via physical examination as well as laboratory-based evaluations.
The study, The Impact of Musical Training on Hand Biomechanics in String Musicians, was undertaken because the effects of musical training on the body in professional musicians remain an understudied area, particularly in reference to understanding and managing orthopedic/neuromuscular deviations and injuries in this population.”
