Exhausting repetitive piano tasks lead to local forearm manifestation of muscle fatigue and negatively affect musical parameters

Abstract Muscle fatigue is considered as a risk factor for developing playing-related muscular disorders among professional pianists and could affect musical performance. This study investigated in 50 pianists the effect of fatiguing repetitive piano sequences on the development of forearm muscle fa...
