Impact Vibration and Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome
Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 1997The case histories of ten workers with Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) indicate that their predominant vibration exposure was to impact vibration. This association, recognized previously in pedestal grinders and in multiple hand tool users, should now be identified in spot welders and press operators.

Evaluation of neurological testing for hand–arm vibration syndrome
Occupational Medicine, 2022Abstract Background The neurological component of hand–arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) uses the Stockholm Workshop Scale sensorineural (SWS SN) stages for classification. Proximal compressive neuropathies are common in HAVS and the symptoms are similar to SN HAVS. The SWS may not be a valid staging tool

Cryoglobulins and cold agglutinins for hand arm vibration syndrome
Occupational Medicine, 2022AbstractBackgroundHand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a condition caused by hand transmitted vibration from the use of hand-held vibrating tools or workpieces. The disease affects the vascular, neurological and musculoskeletal systems. The vascular component of HAVS is a form of secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon. Other causes of disease must be excluded

Occupational hand–arm vibration syndrome in Korea
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2005It 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

The Journal of family practice, 1994
The hand-arm vibration syndrome affects workers who perform tasks that generate vibration. Raynaud's phenomenon and sensory impairment of the fingers are the predominant effects. A history of hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure in a patient with these symptoms should alert the physician to the diagnosis.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome
Archives of Neurology, 1994This article serves to draw attention to the risk to workers from repetitive strain and hand-arm vibration in the workplace and to the diagnostic difficulty in distinguishing carpal tunnel syndrome from the sensorineural component of hand-arm vibration syndrome.Journal publications, textbooks on hand-arm vibration, guidelines of the International ...

Hand-arm vibration syndrome: a guide for nurses
Nursing Standard, 1999It is estimated that 1.2 million workers are now exposed to hazardous levels of vibration in their work. In the year 1995-1996, over 3,000 new cases of hand-arm vibration syndrome were assessed by the Department of Social Security (DSS) under the Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit Scheme.

Hand function in workers with hand-arm vibration syndrome
Journal of Hand Therapy, 1999Hand-arm vibration syndrome has been specially addressed in the Scandinavian countries in recent years, but the syndrome is still not sufficiently recognized in many countries. The object of this preliminary study was to describe the nature and character of vibration-induced impairment in the hands of exposed workers.

Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome: Clinical Evaluation and Prevention
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1991Increasing recognition by workers that blanching of their fingers may be due to hand-arm vibration exposure from the tools they use at work and their consequent claims for compensation emphasize a need for better clinical evaluation and prevention.
