The hand arm vibration syndrome: a review
Vascular, 1997 Since its first description over eight decades ago, the hand arm vibration syndrome — vibration white finger as it was previously known — has become one of the most common prescribed diseases in the industrialized world. This article is intended to provide a broad review of existing evidence and knowledge regarding a disease which, for medicolegal ...

Medical aspects of the hand-arm vibration syndrome
International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 1990Abstract A review of the effects of hand-arm vibration on workers using hand-held vibrating tools is presented. Epidemiological, clinical and physiological investigations indicate that hand-arm vibration can provoke digital vasospastic symptoms (vibration-induced white finger), peripheral sensorineural disturbances (finger numbness, impaired tactile ...

Lessons from hand-arm vibration syndrome research
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1991AbstractThis 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.

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
