Introduction: Playing the instrument in different groups of society is increasing day by day. Therefore, it seems necessary to pay attention to musculoskeletal imbalances and their problems in musicians.Martials and Methods: Ninety instrumentalists, including 26 wood wind players (age: 28.46±4.62 year, BMI: 26.59±2.11), 37 string players (age: 28.18±7 year, BMI: 24.92±3.60), and 27 percussionists (age: 31.88±6.6 years, BMI: 24.95±3.32) were selected to participate in this study. Upper and lower extremities were assessed. For statistical analysis ANOVA, Scheffe and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests were performed in SPSS version 16 with a significance level of 0.05.Results: The results of this study did not show significant differences between the degree of musculoskeletal imbalances of kyphosis and lordosis between the study groups (P˃0.05). Results in musculoskeletal imbalances of scoliosis (sig= 0.001), forward head (sig= 0.001), uneven shoulder (sig= 0.001), torticollis (sig= 0.001), scapular dyskinesia (sig= 0.006) were showed the significant differences between the groups (P˂0.05).Conclusion: According to the results, some musculoskeletal imbalances in the group of wood wind instrumentalists showed a higher intensity and prevalence. These variabilities between different groups of musicians indicate different physical and postural needs to play different instruments.
