Objective: Research and clinical experience have shown that musicians are at risk of acquiring playing-related injuries. This paper explores findings from a qualitative research study examining the lived experience of professional instrumental musicians with playing-related injuries, which has thus far been missing from the performing arts health literature. Methodology: This study employed a phenomenological methodology influenced by van Manen to examine the lived experiences of professional musicians with playing-related injuries. Participants and Methods: Ten professional musicians in Ontario, Canada were interviewed about their experiences as musicians with playing-related injuries. Six of the participants later attended a focus group where preliminary findings were presented. Results:Thefindings demonstrate a need for education about risk and prevention of injuries that could be satisfied by healthcare professionals and music educators. Conclusions: The practice and training of healthcare professionals should

    April 14, 2011 Vol. 47 No. 14 The University of Western Ontario’s newspaper of record www.westernnews.ca PM 41195534 Matter of Lasting priorities NRC’s market focus raises questions about funding fate of basic research By Heather Travis lessons ndrew Nelson wasn’t thinking about the economic outcomes of his research focused Aon determining the identity of a Canadian soldier from the First World War. In fact, as the Professor offers Faculty of Social Science associate dean points out, there aren’t any economic outcomes. That fact alone means under the strict guide- lines recently outlined by the National Research one last lecture Council (NRC), Nelson’s research collaboration – along with thousands of others nationwide – may no longer make the bar for what the NRC deems fundable. That has led some observers to wonder about the fate of research in Canada. NRC officials say the priority will be placed on research of national importance and will support Canadian industry and economic development overall – a move away from basic science research. In a memo to his more than 4,000 employees, NRC president John McDougall ordered his staff to put down the test tubes of basic science research and pick up work in the applied sciences, par- ticularly in areas that will help boost economic development. The NRC is the Canadian government’s leading resource for research, development and tech- nology-based innovation. It consists of about 20 institutes and national programs, who often part- ner with universities, offering a wide array of services. Reports have circulated in the media about a March 2 memo distributed to NRC staff asking them to focus on research that has clear “market drivers” or a “purposeful direction.” In the memo, McDougall informed staff a new system will be enforced, putting the power in the hands of NRC vice-presidents and the president to determine how the majority of research and capital funds will be allocated.
