Clinical assessment of hand-arm vibration syndrome. [PDF]
Nagoya journal of medical science, 1994 The clinical assessment of patients thought to be suffering from hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) requires the use of multiple vascular and sensory tests. In a family physician's office, Adson's, Allen's and cold water immersion of the hands are the only feasible vascular tests, while the sensory tests have to be limited to assessing impairment of ...

Hand-arm vibration exposure and the development of vibration syndrome. [PDF]
Nagoya journal of medical science, 1994 To evaluate the circulatory disturbances, sensory disturbances and damage to muscles and joints by chain saw vibration exposure, the process of the deterioration of the symptoms with chain saw operating time was studied. Subjects were classified into eight groups according to TOT (Total Operating Time): Group 0, 46 controls; Group A, 39 operators (< 2 ...
