  • Quantitatively measured tremor in Hand‑Arm Vibration‑exposed workers
    International archives of occupational and environmental health, 2014
    Co-Authors: Maria Edlund, Lage Burström, Mats Hagberg, Ronnie Lundström, Tohr Nilsson, Helena Sandén, Gunilla Wastensson
    Abstract:

    Objectives The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible increase in Hand tremor in relation to Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV) exposure in a cohort of exposed and unexposed workers.

  • musculoskeletal symptoms among young male workers and associations with exposure to Hand Arm Vibration and ergonomic stressors
    International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2008
    Co-Authors: Jens Wahlström, Lage Burström, Mats Hagberg, Ronnie Lundström, Tohr Nilsson
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE: The overall aim of this study was to explore the association between incident musculoskeletal symptoms in the neck and upper limbs and exposure to Hand-Arm Vibration and ergonomic stress ...

  • gender differences in subjective responses to Hand Arm Vibration
    International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 2006
    Co-Authors: Gregory Neely, Lage Burström
    Abstract:

    Abstract There are fewer women than men working in occupations with high exposure to Hand–Arm Vibration. Still there are tens of thousands of women employed in these occupations. The aim of this study was to investigate the gender differences in the subjective experience of Hand–Arm Vibration. Absolute vibrotactile threshold measurements at four frequencies (8, 31.5, 63 and 125 Hz) in 20 participants (10 males, 10 females) were obtained as well as perceived intensity and discomfort ratings of Hand–Arm Vibration made at four intensity levels (0.16, 0.5, 1.6 and 5 m/s 2 ) for each frequency. No gender differences were found for threshold measurements. However, ratings of both perceived intensity and discomfort were higher for females. Females were significantly more subjectively sensitive than males to stronger physical intensity levels at the higher frequencies. Further, predicted rating values based on ISO frequency weighting underestimated female responses significantly more than male responses to perceived intensity. The results seen here indicate that there should be greater considerations to gender differences in studies of Hand–Arm Vibration. Relevance to industry Results from this study demonstrate differential effects in subjective responses to Hand–Arm Vibration in males and females. This may have implications for ISO frequency weighting currently used in industrial hygiene evaluations.

  • Changes of the electroneurophysiological on comprehensive therapy for 32 patients with mild occupational Hand-Arm Vibration disease
    China Occupational Medicine, 2011
    Co-Authors: Liu Jian-hua
    Abstract:

    Objective To compare the changes of the electroneurophysiological on comprehensive therapy in mild occupational Hand-Arm Vibration disease,and to observe the therapeutic effect.Methods The result of electroneurophysiological of 32 patients with mild occupational Hand-Arm Vibration disease in 3-month comprehensive therapy was analyzed.Results After the therapy,the electroneurophysiological of 19 cases recovered to normal.The incidence rate of distal latency in median nerve and ulnar nerve was decreased form 90.63% to 23.44% and 35.94% to 1.56% respectively(P0.01).The distal sensor nerve conduction velocity(SCV) was decreased form 29.69% to 3.13% and 23.44% to 4.69% respectively(P0.01).Conclusion The early symptom of electroneurophysiological was the distal latency prolonged and the SCV slowed of the median nerve and ulnar nerve.The comprehensive therapy can obviously improve all indexes.It's suggested that the therapy should have a remarkable effect for patient with Hand-Arm Vibration disease at the early stage.
