Abstract

For the instrumental practice there are accessories needs, as the musical score and shelf. The objective this study was to evaluate the visual distance, the visual angle, the height of the musical scores and cervical angle in 11 string musicians (violin and viola). The results went of 100.23±5.46 cm to the height of the musical score, 89.36±8.22 cm for the visual distance, 9.23±0.79° for the visual angle and 49.86±5.71° for the cervical angle. Only the cervical angle was out of the recommended patterns (maximum indication 30°) and should be analyzed in greater depth in future studies.
