Current perception threshold and the HAVS Stockholm sensorineural scale.
BACKGROUND It is important to determine which tests of sensorineural dysfunction identify the neurological damage from hand-arm vibration exposure. AIMS To examine the association between the hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) Stockholm sensorineural scale stages and tests of peripheral neurological function including measurement of current perception threshold (CPT) and nerve conduction. M...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers
the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
Use of sensorineural tests in a large volume of medico-legal compensation claims for HAVS.
BACKGROUND The Department of Trade and Industry set up a contract to examine miners and ex-miners claiming compensation for hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). They had been exposed to hand-transmitted vibration. Over 100,000 have now been examined using sensorineural tests as part of that process. AIMS The purpose of this paper was to examine the internal consistency of the vibrotactile thre...
متن کاملRe: nerve conduction studies (NCS) and current perception thresholds (CPT) in workers assessed for hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS).
The paper on nerve conduction studies (NCS) and current perception thresholds (CPT) in workers assessed for hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) by Lander et al. [1] while informative contained several oversights about the CPT neurophysiological test that would bias any reader's interpretation of the findings. The standardized automated double-blind CPT evaluation provides a painless objective ne...
متن کاملCurrent Perception Threshold for Assessment of the Neurological Components of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome: A Review
Current perception threshold (CPT) has been proposed as a quantitative method for assessment of peripheral sensory nerve function. The aim of this review of selected reports is to provide an overview of CPT measurement for the assessment of the neurological component of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). The CPT values at 2000 Hz significantly increased for patients with HAVS. This result supp...
