Objectives: In voice production, interactions occur between the oscillating vocal folds, the respiratory system, and the vocal tract. However, it is not yet sufficiently understood how the respiratory system could affect the vocal tract configuration. It is hypothesized that a reduction in tracheal pull, caused by decreasing lung volume, along with shifts in dominant exhalation forces (from inspiratory to expiratory muscles), leads to a larynx elevation with shortening of the vocal tract tube, and consecutively, articulatory adjustments to preserve consistent sound quality.

Background: Musician's focal dystonia (mFD) is a rare, neurological, task-specific disorder that mainly affects the upper extremity (especially the hands) and generally appears as a painless muscular incoordination that can mark the end of a musician's professional career. The present literature review intends to highlight the current understanding of musician's focal dystonia, its underlying neural mechanisms and the role of prevention and treatment in physiotherapy, psychotherapy and other fields as occupational therapy.
Purpose: The aim of the present literature review was to gain an overview of mFD in the medical, psychological and physical therapy literature and investigate what strategies for diagnosis and rehabilitation are available today.

Flow is defined as a state of total absorption in an activity, involving focused attention, deep engagement, loss of self-conscious awareness, and self-perceived temporal distortion. Musical flow has been associated with enhanced performance, but the bulk of previous research has investigated flow mechanisms using self-report methodology. Thus, little is known about the precise musical features that may induce or disrupt flow.

The deliberate practice framework was forwarded to account for the characteristics and developmental experiences of individuals who have acquired exceptional performance in any domain. This framework proposed that experts undergo an extensive acquisition period involving the accumulation of thousands of hours of deliberate practice while overcoming various constraints that serve as functional barriers to the achievement of expertise. Although the deliberate practice framework has been examined in the context of a range of domains, disability sport remains relatively unstudied.
