MusicPhysioAnalysis
MusicPhysioAnalysis
The central theme of the internal research project “MusikPhysioAnalysis” is the execution of a systematically fundamental movement analysis of the pathological movement patterns belonging to musicians with and without musicians’ associated illnesses aided by instrumental and manual finding methods. This is done using available and developing infrastructure resources belonging to two faculties of the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences, the Business Management and Social Sciences (WiSo) and Engineering and Computer Science (IuI) faculty, as well as the Institute of Music and the Institute of Applied Physiotherapy and Osteopathy (INAP/O).
Based on this information subgroups are evaluated to develop the most effective physiotherapeutic strategy concerning the treatment of musicians’ associated illnesses. This strategy involves the instruments as well as the different realities of life, such as gender-, diversity- and intercultural aspects and the various resulting needs regarding the playing of an instrument.
Based on these research results an instrument-specific prevention concept will be developed by the end of the funding period.

A numerous amount of lectures concerning different subjects out of the physiotherapy area were presented and Professor Christoff Zalpour, Nikolaus Ballenberger and Dirk M?ller presented results out of the current musicians’ medicine research project MusikPhysioAnalysis.
The next Research Symposium Physiotherapy will take place on the 16th and 17th of November 2017 in the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences.
Dr. Sonia Ranelli (Curtin University Perth/Australia) conducted a workshop about Musicians’ Physiotherapy - Assessment & Management of upper limb problems. The training course was aimed at physiotherapist, especially those working with musicians (instrumentalists, singers, and dancers) or are interested in this field. The workshop focused on work with instrumentalists, in particular those with hand problems.
During the winter semester 16/17 a block week under the name “Musicians‘ physiotherapy- Sustainability for a lifelong performance” was held.
Prof. Christoff Zalpour and Dirk M?ller, research assistants and clinical experts Nadine Rensing, Heike Schemmann and Camilla Kapitza, as well as the Australian guest scientist Dr. Sonia Ranelli, who currently works as a PostDoc-scholar in the work group Osnabrück, invited to a clinical and scientific dispute concerning this subject.
During five days lectures of the area musicians’ physiotherapy were offered:
- Clinical cases instrumentalists and singers (Diagnosis and assessment)
- Introduction in music physiology and musicians medicine focusing on neurophysiology, epidemiology and musicians’ physiotherapy.
- Labday: Basics of biomechanical assessment procedures in the context of musicians’ specific problems.
- Musicians‘ specific workout und exercises
- Clinical cases musicians (treatment and prevention)
On the 7th and 8th of October Christoff Zalpour, Brigitte Tampin, Dirk M?ller, Nadine Rensing, Eduard Wolf and Heike Schemmann visited the 15th Symposium of the German Association for Music Physiology and Musicians' Medicine (DGfMM). The group presented the first research results of the internal research project MusikPhysioAnalysis on seven posters and experienced an active technical exchange with national and international participants of the symposium.
The Osnabrückers were accompanied by Dr. Sonia Ranelli of the Curtin University Perth / Australia, who worked as a guest scientist from July until December 2016 in Osnabrück together with the MusikPhysioAnalysis team. Dr. Ranelli is a specialist for neuromuscular skeletal illnesses of child and young musicians and worked with them since 2012.
Katri Isom?ki, a finnish physiotherapy student who studies in the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences during the winter semester 2016/17, was also in Berlin. She is a cellist and will actively experience and work in the university’s various fields of physiotherapy.
29.07.2016: ?MusikPhysioAnalysis“ – Fast Forward Science 2016
Every professional football team is cared for by a professional physiotherapist. Professional musicians don’t have this support, even though multiple studies state that for instance a big part of the musicians in orchestras have muscular skeletal problems. For the research project MusikPhysioAnalysis of the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences interdisciplinary scientists out of the area physiotherapy, music and computer science are working together. Their aim is to develop an effective physiotherapeutic strategy for the treatment of musicians’ associated illnesses with the help of modern technology and evaluated data.
From the 18th until the 22nd of July four members of the research project Osnabrück concerning musicians’ physiotherapy attended the Congreso Internacional - Enfermedades y Rehabilitación de Profesionales del Arte 2016 in Havana, Cuba. The Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences was seen as the home of an internationally recognised research group in the field of musicians’ health. This was emphasised on the meeting of the group members Camilla Kapitza (INAP/O), Christoff Zalpour, Nikolaus Ballenberger and Dirk M?ller with the German state secretary Hans-Joachim Fuchtel of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), which took place by his invitation on the 17th of July in Havana.
During the 18th of July Christoff Zalpour was also a part of the BMZ’s German delegation and participated in a meeting in the Centro Nacional de Ortopedia, in which the opportunity to exchange opinions with Dra. Maritza Leiva occurred, who is a part of the Cuban Ministry of Health and responsible for the countrywide rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
The importance of a scientific cooperation between German and Cuban universities was also emphasised in a discussion by Christoff Zalpour and Nikolaus Ballenberger with the German Ambassador in Havana S.E. Thomas Neisinger on the 19th of July 2016. Due to the fact that cooperation has been very rare until now it is even more remarkable that the Osnabrücker physiotherapy has collaborated so actively.
The first results out of the internal research project MusikPhysioAnalysis were internationally presented on the 34th International Performing Arts Medicine Symposium in New York City, USA, which took place from the 7th – 10th of July. Six members of the work group presented interim results and practical courses of action in a number of lectures, workshops and one poster.
Due to the Symposium of the German Association for Music Physiology and Musicians' Medicine (DGfMM) Nadine Rensing and Heike Schemmann could report about die possibility of a physiotherapeutic clinical examination and treatment of a violin player’s shoulder.
This was a contribution towards the interdisciplinary work group movement under the supervision of Alexandra Türk-Espitalier. It was followed by a plenum discussion by representatives of different musicians’ health disciplines, in which they introduced and discussed various approaches of examination and treatment.
Prof. Dr. med. Christoff Zalpour and Heike Schemmann were invited as speakers for the Unfallkasse North Rhine-Westphalia’s seminar about work safety and health protection in the theatre on the 22nd and 23rd of September 2015.
Prof. Zalpour talked about the relevance of musicians’ medicine and musicians’ physiology as well as the epidemiology of musicians’ illnesses. He additionally presented the physiotherapeutic musicians’ consultation hour for instrumentalists and singers by the Institute of Applied Physiotherapy and Osteopathy (INAP/O) of the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. This was followed by Heike Schemmann’s description of a physiotherapeutic treatment for singers using an example case out of the physiotherapeutic consultation hour for singers.
Dr. Bronwen Ackermann from the University of Sydney, Australia, is an internationally renowned expert of movement analysis for music associated illnesses and visited the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences as a cooperation partner of the internal research project MusikPhysioAnalysis from the 1st until the 6th of June 2015.
After being greeted by the vice president and dean Prof. Dr. Sabine Eggers she took part in the movement laboratory’s experiments, planning meetings of the complete working group and offered a two day intensive workshop about posture control and examination of instrumentalists’ hands for students and external experts.
Dale Rickert, PhD (Brisbane/Berlin) also took part in the interdisciplinary group meetings as a cellist and musicologist.
