Onset of Vibration-Induced White Finger: Insight Derived from a Meta-Analysis of Exposed Workers

open access: yesProceedings, 2023
A pooled analysis has been performed of population groups whose hands have been occupationally exposed to vibration to study exposure evaluation, using epidemiologic data selected from a published meta-analysis.

Frequency weightings of hand-transmitted vibration for predicting vibration-induced white finger

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2011
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of four frequency weightings for hand-transmitted vibration to predict the incidence of vibration-induced white finger (VWF).

Arterial Stenosis Stemming from Vibration-Altered Wall Shear Stress: A Way to Prevent Vibration-Induced Vascular Risk?

open access: yesProceedings, 2023
Vibration dose assessed by current standards is likely to be poorly suited to protecting workers against vibration white finger (VWF). Therefore, we intended for a two-step approach to better tackle vibration-induced pathophysiological vascular issues ...

Development of a Novel Rat-Tail Model for Studying Finger Vibration Health Effects

open access: yesProceedings, 2023
The objective of this study was to develop a new rat-tail vibration model for studying finger vibration health effects. Unlike the previous rat-tail models, the vibration strain and stress of the rat tail can be conveniently and reliably quantified and ...

Raynaud's phenomenon, vibration induced white finger, and difficulties in hearing. [PDF]

open access: yesOccup Environ Med, 2002
Background: an association has previously been reported between finger blanching and hearing difficulties, but only in workers with exposure to noise and hand transmitted vibration (HTV).Aims: to explore the association in a community sample, including ...

Relation between vibrotactile perception thresholds and reductions in finger blood flow induced by vibration of the hand at frequencies in the range 8–250 Hz [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Purpose: this study investigated how the vasoconstriction induced by vibration depends on the frequency of vibration when the vibration magnitude is defined by individual thresholds for perceiving vibration [i.e.

Combined effects of noise, vibration, and low temperature on the physiological parameters of labor employees

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2013
Noise, vibration, and low temperature render specific occupational hazards to labor employees. The purpose of this research was to investigate the combined effects of these three physical hazards on employees' physiological parameters.
