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

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