Ergonomics Training Intensive

The Ergonomics Training Intensive (ETI) is a four-session program with the goal of training students to employ healthy practice strategies. Students will perform movement, postural, and ergonomics screenings on themselves and their peers and develop instrument-specific correction methods. 通过提高对21世纪音乐家相关问题的认识, the Ergonomics Training Intensive provides performance enhancement strategies as well as concepts for increasing career longevity.

This intensive runs once per semester and is taught in-person by UHS Physical Therapist Sue Callan-Harris and HPO Prevention Coordinator Jack Earnhart. 在2024年秋季学期，它将在周三晚上7:00 - 8:00提供, September 18th to October 9th. 报名将通过电子邮件发送给Jack Earnhart. 成功完成所有课程的学员将获得结业证书, free ETI apparel, and CV credit.

Students who complete the Ergonomics Training Intensive will be recognized as Wellness Ambassadors, 并且能够为他们的同龄人提供符合人体工程学的筛查和调整.

Performance Progressions Guidelines App

With University Health Service IT, the Performance Progression Guidelines App has been added to the EH page on the University Health Service website. Introduced at the Performing Arts Medicine Association World Symposium in London this summer, 该应用程序为表演者提供有价值的练习指南反馈.

Adaptive Keyboard

Endorsed by world-renowned pianists, UHS Physical Therapy and ESM have collaborated to bring an adaptive keyboard to the Eastman School. 这个键盘有修改过的手跨度选项, which encourages ergonomic ease and may increase muscular endurance – allowing students the ability to practice more comfortably. The HPO will provide access to guidelines for the adaptive keyboard use and hand health strategies.

Physical Therapy

PT services are available at both the UHS River Campus Office and the Eastman School of Music Office on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the school year. Services include one-on-one evaluations and treatment sessions with physical therapists experienced in the management of orthopedic conditions, 与表现相关的肌肉骨骼疾病, hypermobility, concussion, TMJ injuries and pain conditions. 我们的PTs提供对损伤性质的评估, manual therapies, modalities, postural and ergonomic assessments, 以及运动处方的恢复和预防伤害. 从伤病中恢复的过程, students learn self-care and performance enhancement strategies to reduce the risk of reinjury.

The UR Student Health Insurance Plan (Aetna) provides coverage for physical therapy with a $10 co-payment at the time of visit. 如果你的健康保险不包括这些费用，你将承担经济责任. 致电(585)275-2662向保健处预约.
