Impact Vibration and Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome

Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 1997
The 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.

The hand arm vibration syndrome: a review

Cardiovascular Surgery, 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 ...

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

Concordance between the Stockholm Workshop Scale and the International Consensus Criteria for grading the severity of neurosensory manifestations in hand-arm vibration syndrome in a Swedish clinical setting

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2023
Objectives Occupational exposure to vibration using hand-held tools may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). Correct diagnosis and grading of severity are crucial in protecting the individual’s health and for workers’ compensation claims.

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.

[New international criteria for vascular risk assessment and staging of hand-arm vibration syndrome]

Giornale italiano di medicina del lavoro ed ergonomia
Recently, a supplementary methodology to improve the assessment of occupational exposures to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) and a revision of the clinical staging of the hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) have been proposed. The Technical Report ISO/TR

Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome: Clinical Evaluation and Prevention

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1991
Increasing 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.

Hand-arm vibration syndrome.

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.
