Tremor and hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) in road maintenance workers
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate postural and rest tremor among workers using vibrating hand tools, taking into account the possible effects of toxicants such as alcohol and tobacco. A further aim was to study workers diagnosed with hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) at the time of examination. METHODS This study comprises 103 road maintenance workers, 55 exposed to vibrating ...
متن کاملHand-arm vibration syndrome.
The hand-arm vibration syndrome affects workers who perform tasks that generate vibration. Raynaud's phenomenon and sensory impairment of the fingers are the predominant effects. A history of hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure in a patient with these symptoms should alert the physician to the diagnosis. Referral to a special clinic or hospital department for multiple clinical tests is required t...
متن کاملHand arm vibration syndrome among quarry workers in Vietnam.
Few studies have focused on the health effects of vibrating tools on workers in the tropical area. Work conditions and health effects related to rock drill operation were studied in 102 quarry workers, including 73 rock drill operators in Vietnam. We aimed to clarify (1) risk of vibration exposure, (2) occurrence of vibration-induced white finger (VWF), and (3) characteristics of hand-arm vibra...
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 کاملUpper limb disability in Norwegian workers with hand-arm vibration syndrome
BACKGROUND Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a well-known disease among workers using hand-held vibrating tools. These patients experience major symptoms from their upper limbs. However, there are few studies on disability in this patient group. In this study we wanted to describe the disability of HAVS patients. METHODS All HAVS patients diagnosed at Haukeland University Hospital in Berg...
