本研究调查了308名美国土著长笛演奏者的人体工程学问题。它还将33名参与者的身体测量与他们认为最舒服的长笛相关联。根据实测数据，推导出最大舒适度笛子的预测公式。中位年龄为63岁，平均年龄为6.9岁。女性弹奏乐器的时间明显减少(p=.004)，但自我报告的进步速度明显加快(p=.001)。47-64%的球员至少在某些时候经历过身体不适。超过10%的球员平均报告中度不适。女性报告的最大和平均身体不适明显高于男性（分别p<.001和p=.015)。身高、臂展、手展、所报告的演奏时间和经验水平都与演奏者感到舒适的最大长笛有关。对这些因素进行多元系数分析，得出与最大舒适度笛子有较强相关性的公式(r=+.650)。然而，该公式没有足够的相关性，在预测长笛设计中没有价值。定制美洲土著长笛的目的是提高人机工程学是一个有价值的目标。

英文摘要：
  This study surveyed ergonomic issues in 308 Native American flute players. It also correlated the physical measurements of a subgroup of 33 participants with the largest flute they found comfortable. The data was used to derive a predictive formula for the largest comfortable flute based on physical measurements. The median age of players was 63 years with a mean of 6.9 years playing Native American flute. Females reported significantly less time playing the instrument (p = .004), but significantly faster self-reported progress rates (p = .001). Physical discomfort was experienced by 47-64% of players at least some of the time. Over 10% of players reported moderate discomfort on an average basis. Females report significantly higher maximum and average physical discomfort than males (p < .001 and p = .015, respectively). Height, arm span, hand span, and reported length of time playing and experience level all correlated with the largest flute that the player found comfortable. Multivariate coefficient analysis on those factors yielded a formula with a strong correlation to the largest comfortable flute (r = +.650). However, the formula does not have sufficient correlation to have value in predicting flute design. Customization of Native American flutes with the goal of improving ergonomics is proposed as a worthwhile goal.
