Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2013.

This exploratory cross-sectional study investigated how physical attributes (i.e., hand span and pinch strength), perceived exertion, and time spent playing the piano influenced self-perception of recalled hand discomfort, and the relationship of recalled hand discomfort with hand function status among 105 undergraduate and graduate students majoring in piano studies or piano performance. The participants were surveyed once with respect to two scenarios - "In a Typical Week" and "In the Week Leading Up To and Surrounding the Worst Experience with Hand Discomfort." The majority of the participants first began playing the piano in childhood and experienced their worst hand discomfort after transitioning into adolescence or emerging adulthood. For most of the participants, their hand discomfort was serious enough to alter or limit their capacity to manage usual and customary daily life in order to allow for piano playing, and in some instances, the participants reported an inability to play piano until the discomfort was reduced or resolved. During that particular period of time, the participants experienced greater hand function difficulty than reported by the normative population. The participants' worst discomfort is positively related to how they perceived their level of exertion as measured by the Borg RPE ScaleRTM while playing the piano, controlling for other variables in the equation. When the perceived exertion increased, participants tended to report more discomfort, making perceived exertion the best indicator for discomfort. In terms of time spent playing the piano, this study did not find that participants to have a significant reduction in their weekly number of hours spent playing the piano, during the week leading up to and surrounding their worst discomfort. Male participants experienced more severe discomfort the older they began playing the piano and female participants experienced more intense discomfort the older they were when they experienced the worst discomfort. Explanations for both results may be related to gender differences in biological growth and physical development. Despite the experience of severe level of their discomfort under the worst case scenario, all participants in this study persevered and survived to continue studying piano at an advanced level.
