The Hemorheologic Effects of Hand-Transmitted Vibration

Angiology, 1997
Vibration 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, 2001
To 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 ...

The Association Between Vibrotactile and Thermotactile Perception Thresholds and Personal Risk Factors in Workers Exposed to Hand-Transmitted Vibration

Vibration
Background: Hand–arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a well-recognized occupational condition resulting from prolonged exposure to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV), characterized by vascular, neurological, and musculoskeletal impairments.

Development of a hand-transmitted vibration testing system for simulating a one-sixth-gravity, low-pressure environment

Journal of Physics: Conference Series
Astronauts using electric space tools for lunar extravehicular activities (EVA) are an important task in the manned lunar landing program. The EVA work is challenging and time-consuming, and the hand-transmitted vibration caused by electric tools can ...

Diagnosis of vascular injuries caused by hand-transmitted vibration

International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2007
For 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.

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.
