Summary 

Part I of this article's series included background information on performing arts medicine with a special focus on musicians.

In part II of the series, the emphasis is on the physical examination, including posture, range of motion and hypermobility, ergonomics, and instrument-specific examination procedures. The final article in the series will describe three case histories of musicians with hand pain.
