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.

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.

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

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.

Work disability after diagnosis of hand-arm vibration syndrome
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2015Our aim was to study the course of vasospastic and sensorineural symptoms after the clinical diagnosis of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), and the association of current HAVS symptoms with occupational status, self-evaluation of health, quality of life, and work ability.We gathered all HAVS cases diagnosed at the Finnish Institute of Occupational ...

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 in a Group of U.S. Uranium Miners Exposed to Hand-Arm Vibration
Applied Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 1991Abstract Medical evaluations were conducted in New Mexico on 134 uranium mine workers. Ninety-one of these workers were miners who used jack-leg-type drills on their job at the time of the survey. Engineering evaluations of two jack-leg-type drills and a jack hammer were carried out while four of the miners operated the tools.

[Hand-arm vibration syndrome in caisson miners].
Orvosi hetilap, 1997Authors examined 43 caisson-miners with symptoms of the upper extremities because of suspicion of hand-arm vibration syndrome. Also vibration measurements were performed on the pneumatic hammer used by the workers. The acceleration of the vibration exceeded 2.5-3.5 times the maximum allowable level according to the ISO 5349.
