Nerve conduction in relation to vibration exposure - a non-positive cohort study [PDF]
Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology, 2010 Background Peripheral neuropathy is one of the principal clinical disorders in workers with hand-arm vibration syndrome. Electrophysiological studies aimed at defining the nature of the injury have provided conflicting results.

Application of cold intolerance symptom severity questionnaire among vibration-exposed workers as a screening tool for the early detection of hand-arm vibration syndrome: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
Annals of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2019 Background The detection rate of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is very low in South Korea compared with other countries. The absence of uniform consensus and guidelines for diagnosing HAVS has been presumed to be one of the reasons.

Evaluation of neurological testing for hand-arm vibration syndrome.
Occupational Medicine, 2022 Abstract 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
