Prolonged occupational exposure to hand-held vibrating tools leads to pain and reductions
in tactile sensitivity, grip strength and manual dexterity. The goal of the current study was to …

Repeated exposure to hand-transmitted vibration through the use of powered hand tools
may result in pain and progressive reductions in tactile sensitivity. The goal of the present …

Objective: Occupational exposure to hand-transmitted vibration can result in damage to
nerves and sensory loss. The goal of this study was to assess the frequency-dependent …

Long‐term occupational exposure to hand–arm vibration can result in a permanent
reduction in tactile sensitivity in exposed fingers and hands. Little is known about how …

Objective: This study was to investigate the acute effects of hand-arm vibrations on the nerve
functions of the hands, and the impact of the grip force applied to the vibrating tool during …

Exposure to hand-transmitted vibration in the work-place can result in the loss of sensation
and pain in workers. These effects may be exacerbated by pre-existing conditions such as …

Purpose Long-term vibrations are known to cause neurovascular diseases, which are
common in workers who operate handheld power tools or motor vehicles. Understanding …

Prolonged hand‐transmitted vibration exposure in the workplace has been recognized for
almost a century to cause neurodegenerative and vasospastic disease. Persistence of the …

Objective: The aim of the present study was to quantify the sensory and functional effects
resulting from a short-duration (30 min) exposure to hand-arm vibration. Subjects and …

This study was conducted to clarify the effects of vibration on the peripheral nerves. Rat tails
were exposed to vibration (acceleration 56.9 m/s2, frequency 60 Hz, amplitude 0.4 mm for …
