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 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.

A mouse model for hand-arm vibration syndrome
Proceedings of the Second Joint 24th Annual Conference and the Annual Fall Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society] [Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2003Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) occurs in workers who use vibrating hand tools. Symptoms of HAVS include finger paresthesia and numbness, a loss of manual dexterity and grip strength, and vasospasms in the fingers in response to cold. Although the relationship between vibration exposure and HAVS is well-established, it is not clear how vibration ...

[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.
