Hand arm vibration syndrome.

Occupational health; a journal for occupational health nurses, 1994
As the UK's commonest prescribed disease hand arm vibration syndrome presents a considerable risk to a large sector of the working population. Dr Nerys Williams examines the condition and offers advice for its management.

Hand-arm vibration models

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1985
Several mechanical models of the human hand and arm have been developed by different investigators. These models typically treat the hand and arm as a series of mass, spring, and damping elements. The complexity of the models have ranged from systems with just one degree of freedom to systems with four degrees of freedom.

Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1993
Hand-arm vibration syndrome is a complex condition with vascular, sensorineural, and musculoskeletal components. Workers who handle vibratory tools suffer from it, and the severity of this syndrome is now graded internationally using the Stockholm classification.

Occupational hand–arm vibration syndrome in Korea

International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2005
It is suspected that there is a large number of patients suffering from hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) in Korea. However, no cases have been reported since 1992. This study was conducted to identify HAVS cases and determine the characteristics of the syndrome.In April 2001, the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeong-Nam Province Occupational Disease Surveillance

Lessons from hand‐arm vibration syndrome research

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1991
AbstractThis paper addresses many of the salient issues and difficulties encountered in performing Hand‐Arm Vibration Syndrome research since its discovery in the early 1900's by Alice Hamilton. The areas discussed and the resulting lessons learned include the medical, epidemiological, and control aspects of HAVS.

Hand-Arm Vibration in Shipyard Caulkers

1981
Summary The results of a survey performed on shipyard caulkers exposed to hand-arm vibration are reported.Percussive(chipping hammer)and rotatory(grinders)hand held tools have been examined, Frequency spectrum of the chipping hammer shows high acceleration levels which exceed ISO acceptable boundaries for the exposure time of caulkers.

Hand-arm vibration: New perspectives

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1988
Signs and symptoms of the hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) will be described followed by recent research developments. Much attention has been focused on elucidating the pathophysiological basis of vibration-induced injury to vascular, neural, muscular, and skeletal tissues in the hand and arm.

Hand-arm vibration: Product design principles

Journal of Safety Research, 1996
Several engineering approaches are applied to the design of an exemplary landscaping trimmer in order to reduce vibration induced health problems collectively known as hand arm vibration syndrome. The control of vibration is first mechanically reduced at the source.

Hand-arm vibration in snowmobile drivers.

Arctic medical research, 1995
Hand-arm vibration was measured on the handlebars of snowmobiles (N = 29) and a postal inquiry was made among reindeer herders, N = 2,705. Since many subjects had used also other vibrating tools a snowmobile group proper (N = 334) was established, and in this group 18% of the subjects reported that they had experienced white finger attacks and 48 ...

Hand-arm vibration and terrain vehicles.

Central European journal of public health, 1997
Hand-arm vibration was measured on the handlebars of terrain vehicles (N = 36) and a postal inquiry was made among N = 2705 reindeer herders (snowmobile drivers). Since many subjects had also used other vibrating tools the snowmobile group proper (N = 334) was established.
