Abstract	Background and need of study: Commonly all classical musical instruments are played in cross leg position and without back support for prolonged periods. Core is the central part of the body, core muscles have to spare the spine from excessive load, to transfer force from the lower body to the upper body and vice versa. Strong, stable core and normal body mass index helps us to prevent musculoskeletal injuries. Therefore; the present study was conducted to find the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) and correlation with core endurance and body mass index (BMI) in Indian classical musical instrument players. Methodology: Observational, analytical study was conducted on 35 Indian classical musical instrument players. Male and female, age 20-60 years old, with ≥2 years of experience as a classical musical instrument player, practicing instrument for minimum 2 hours/day were included. Participation was voluntary and informed consent was taken. Nordic questionnaire was assessed for the prevalence of MSD. Weight and height assessed by BMI. Core endurance was assessed by McGill’s core endurance test. Each subject was given appropriate rest period between all tests. Outcomes were correlated using Spearman’s correlation of coefficient. Results: The common painful sites of the body were as follows: wrist/hand(91%),low back (89%),neck(71%),upperback(49%),shoulders(49%),knees(31%),elbows(29%),ankles(20%),hips(11%) among musical instrument players. Correlation was found between BMI and trunk flexor test (r=-0.696, p≤0.001), BMI and trunk extensor test (r=-0.658, p≤0.001), BMI and right side bridge test (r=-0.649,p≤0.001,)left side bridge test (r=-0.675,p≤0.001). Conclusion: A relatively high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain amongst Indian classical musical instrument players. There is moderate negative correlation between BMI and core endurance in Indian classical musical instrument players. Ergonomic advices, adapting healthy lifestyle along with overall improvement in their working efficiency, prevent MSD and thus indirectly improve their Quality of Life.
