Abstract |
|
Intensive vibration can be transmitted to the hands and arm of the operator from vibrating tools, vibratory machinery or vibrating workpieces. Such situation occurs, for example, when a person handles tools such as pneumatic, electric, hydraulic, percussive tools. Depending on the type and place of work, vibration can enter one arm only, or both simultaneously, and may be transmitted through the hand and arm to the shoulder. The vibration of body parts and the perceived vibration are frequently a source of discomfort and possibly reduce proficiency. Continued, habitual use of many vibrating power tools has been found to be connected with various patterns of disease affecting the blood vessels, nerves, bones, joints, muscles or connective tissues of the hand and forearm. |
