[en] Introduction. The Playing-Related Musculoskeletal Diseases (PRMDs) are the most frequents in music population and above all, between bowed string instruments. Pain is considered the main complaint and can lead to functional limitation. Often, musicians aren´t aware of those factors that can influence their complaints, and even literature presents few conclusive results. The differences that may be in musculoskeletal symptoms magnitude between students and professionals of this family of instruments are also unknown. • Objective. The main objective of this study is to verify if there are significant differences in the magnitude of the intensity of pain and interference, assessed this through the MPIIQM questionnaire, among students and professionals bowed string musicians, also checking wich factors can influence the score of this questionnaire, and which is the most affected upper extremity. • Methods. Pilot, analytical, cross-sectional observational study on a priori healthy subjects, to which the MPIIQM questionnaire was passed and neural tension tests were performed. • Results. 17 subjects, 10 RFG professionals and 7 EAEM students participated. The score obtained in the pain subscale by the students was higher, but the score obtained by the professionals in the interference subscale was higher. However, these differences were not significant. Nor were the results of the influence of different factors on the score obtained in the questionnaire with the exception of physical exercise that results to have influence on the intensity of pain subscale. • Conclusions. It has been observed that students have greater magnitude of pain, but less interference from this in their day to day with respect to professionals. Although the difference has not been significant, and there is no scientific literature to take as a reference.

[gl] • Introdución. Os trastornos músculo esqueléticos relacionados coa práctica instrumental (TRPI) son os máis más frecuentes na poboación de músicos e sobre todo, nos de corda fretada. A dor é considerada a principal queixa e pode levar a unha limitación funcional. A miúdo, os propios músicos non son conscientes daqueles factores que poden chegar a ter influencia na súa patoloxía. Incluso a literatura, presenta poucos resultados concluíntes. Tampouco se coñecen as diferencias que pode haber en magnitude entre alumnos e profesionais desta familia de instrumentos. • Obxectivo. O obxectivo principal deste estudo é comprobar se existen diferenzas significativas na magnitude da intensidade da dor e a interferencia, valorado isto a través do cuestionario MPIIQM, entre alumnos e profesionais músicos de corda fretada, comprobando ademais que factores poden influír na puntuación do cuestionario, e cal é o MS máis afectado. • Material y método. Estudo piloto, analítico, de tipo observacional transversal sobre suxeitos a priori sans, aos que se pasou o cuestionario MPIIQM e se lles realizaron unhas probas de tensión neural. • Resultados. Participaron 17 suxeitos, 10 profesionais da RFG e 7 alumnos de la EAEM. Foi maior a puntuación obtida na subescala de dor polos alumnos, pero maior a puntuación obtida polos profesionais na subescala de interferencia. De todas formas, estas diferenzas non foron significativas. Tampouco foron concluíntes os resultados da influencia de diferentes factores na puntuación obtida no cuestionario a excepción do exercicio físico, que si o fixo coa intensidade da dor. • Conclusións. Observouse que os alumnos teñen maior magnitude de dor, pero menos interferencia deste no seu día a día con respecto aos profesionais. Si ben, a diferencia non resultou significativa, e tampouco existe literatura científica para tomar como referencia.
