Outpatient clinic

The Institute offers medical care to students of the Hanover University of Music and Drama and also has a special outpatient clinic for musicians with playing-related problems. The clinic specializes in the diagnosis and therapy of musculoskeletal injuries and neurological disorders. Diagnostic equipment is available for measuring nerve conduction velocity, electromyogram, electroencephalogram biomechanical parameters (e.g., key pressure during piano-playing) and motor performance (Jabusch et al., 2004). Services at the clinic are provided by the physicians, Prof. Dr. Altenmüller and Dr. Jabusch. Dr. E. Altenmüller is registered with the German health board.
