SUMMARY:

Playing a musical instrument requires a high physical demand, which, once unbalanced,
can lead to the professional being removed from their work activities. Therefore,
researchers recognize that this demand can affect the instrumental musician's career.
Given this context, the objectives of this work are to evaluate the frequency of physical
postural discomforts in keyboard players living in the city of São Luís, Maranhão,
Brazil and to analyze the types and body regions of the most frequent physical postural
discomforts in keyboard players living in the city of São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil. From
the conceptualization of posture, the fundamental aspects of the biomechanics of body
posture in standing and sitting positions were discussed; A study was carried out on the
most frequent postural imbalances, looking for their causes and consequences. After
this, these fundamental aspects of the biomechanics of body posture were transposed to
the universe of keyboard performance. The methods adopted to design the research are
classified as bibliographical research with field survey. This research adopted a
quantitative approach (collection of numerical data), and is exploratory in nature. The
data collection technique used was the application of a non-participant structured
questionnaire (closed questions). The questionnaire was sent virtually (WhatsApp and
email). According to the study, it was possible to analyze, through biomechanics, the
possible physical postural discomforts that keyboard players are prone to.
