Epidemiological Evidence for New Frequency Weightings of Hand-Transmitted Vibration
Industrial Health, 2012 This paper provides an overview of the exposure-response relationship for the vascular component of the hand-arm vibration syndrome, called vibration-induced white finger (VWF). Over the past two decades, several epidemiological studies have shown a poor agreement between the risk for VWF observed in various occupational groups and that predicted by ...

Determination of hand-transmitted vibration risk on the human
International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 2019 Objective: The purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of the proposed consideration for hand-transmitted vibration measurement on the human. Method: To obtain the temporary threshold shift (TTS) in the fingertip vibrotactile perception threshold, the vibrotactile perception thresholds were measured before and after the subjects were ...

The Hemorheologic Effects of Hand-Transmitted Vibration
Angiology, 1997Vibration white finger (VWF) is an ischemic condition of the hands that is associated with long-term exposure to hand-held vibration tools. The pathophysiology of VWF remains unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the hemorheologic effect of acute hand-transmitted vibration. This study investigated 52 men divided into two groups: VWF=29, mean age

Scleroderma and occupational exposure to hand-transmitted vibration
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2001To determine whether occupational exposure to hand-transmitted vibration is a risk factor for scleroderma (systemic sclerosis, SSc), two case-control studies were conducted in the provinces of Trento and Verona, northeastern Italy.In the Trento study, 21 patients with a diagnosis of either systemic or localised scleroderma were recruited from those ...

Diagnosis of vascular injuries caused by hand-transmitted vibration
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2007For a reliable objective diagnosis of vascular injuries in hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), the standardized cold provocation tests--finger skin temperature measurement during hand(s) immersion in cold water (FST test) and finger systolic blood pressure measurement during local cold exposure (FSBP test)--are widely used.

Frequency-dependence of Psychophysical and Physiological Responses to Hand-transmitted Vibration
Industrial Health, 2012 This invited paper reviews experimental studies of the frequency-dependence of absolute thresholds for the perception of vibration, equivalent comfort contours, temporary changes in sensation caused by vibration, and reductions in finger blood flow caused by hand-transmitted vibration.

Assessment of Discomfort Due to Motorscooter Hand-Transmitted Vibration
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2002<div class="htmlview paragraph">Hand-transmitted vibration may be a cause of discomfort for two-wheeled vehicles. While there are international standards for the assessment of comfort in whole-body vibration exposure, there are not equivalent guidelines for hand transmitted vibrations.

Abstract This present study is devoted to investigate the vibration transmissibility of the elbow along the forearm direction as a function of hand grip force. The vibration was from 6 to 500 Hz, which was generated on a single-axis electric shaker. It was transmitted to the elbow from an instrumented handle fixed on the shaker through the hand-arm ...

Evaluation of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration
Applied Acoustics, 1975Abstract The relative importance of some of the parameters instrumental in the production of Vibration Induced White Finger have been identified. Difficulties encountered in the measurement of the vibration signal are mentioned, and possible means of overcoming them discussed.
