Downloaded from 1 2 3 ABSTRACT 4 5 6 Review question/objective: The purpose of this proposed review is two-fold: first, to 7 understand the role of occupational therapy as presented in the musicians’ health 8 9 literature; second, to explore the potential for this role. 10 11 Introduction: The intense movement, awkward postures, concentration, and emotional 12 13 communication required of musicians can place them at increased risk of music-related 14 health conditions, such as musculoskeletal disorders and performance anxiety. The 15 development of music-related health conditions can be emotionally and financially 16 For peer review only 17 devastating. The role of occupational therapists in musicians’ health has been 18 previously discussed; however, no rigorous reviews of the scholarly literature have been 19 published. We will, therefore, undertake a scoping review with the following research 20 questions: 1) what is known about the role of occupational therapy in instrumental 21 22 musicians’ health? 2) what is the potential role of occupational therapy in musicians’ 23 health? Methods and Analysis: A preliminary search of Medline, CINAHL, SCOPUS, 24 and Web of Science was previously undertaken by the first author to determine the 25 26 extent of the research on this topic and to confirm that no other reviews have been 27 conducted or are in progress. Study selection and analysis will follow the Joanna Briggs 28 Institute (JBI) and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines for conducting a scoping review. Ethics 29 30 and Dissemination: Formal ethics approval is not required at our institution for a 31 review of published literature. The results of this review will be shared through peer- 32 reviewed publications, conference presentations and traditional and social media. 33 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 Trial Registration: We have registered our protocol with the JBI Systematic Review 35 register. 36 37 38 Strengths and limitations of this study 39 This scoping review protocol follows the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR 40 guidelines for conducting scoping reviews. 41 on September 28, 2021 by guest. Protected copyright. 42 This is a novel scoping review that will provide a comprehensive review of what is 43 known about the current and potential role of occupational therapy in the care of 44 instrumental musicians’ playing-related health conditions, adding to the potential care 45 46 available for this vulnerable population. 47 Papers of English and non-English language will be considered in selection to reduce 48 language-bias. 49 50 This review is limited to evidence from peer-reviewed, published papers, which may 51 result in publication bias. 52 53 54 Keywords: Musicians’ health; Music-related injury; Occupational therapy; Rehabilitation 55 Word Count: 1266 56 57 58 59 60 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml BMJ Open Page 4 of 11 BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2020-040922 on 30 December 2020.
