Clinical neurological methods in the diagnosis of the hand-arm vibration syndrome.

Abstract

Clinical neurological methods in the diagnosis of the hand-arm vibration syndromeby Markus Farkkila, MOl FARKKILA M. Clinical neurologicalmethods in the diagnosisof the hand-arm vibration syndrome. Scand J Work Environ Health 13 (1987) 367-369. Methods for assessing neurological disturbances in the diagnosis of the hand-arm vibration syndrome are described. The clinical examination should comprise a careful history of symptoms and vibration exposure and a considerationof neurological signs known to be associated with vibration exposure. There is as yet no etiologic diagnostic method for vibration-induced neurological lesions. The best method is a relevant clinical examination as described, in combination with a quantitative assessmentof sensory modalities(such as the vibration perception threshold) and an electroneuromyographic test.

The Evaluation of Vibration Exposure in the Operation of Chain Saws and Bush Cutters

“…Stage dependency was indicated by the successively lower mean value of skin temperature with increasing stage of CIRP and increasing vibrotactile perception threshold with increasing SN stage. Farkkila (1987) 13 The close relation between VOl and examination results for CIRP and SN stages contributes to the establishment of effective examination items in early diagnosis of vibration syndrome (14).…”

Vinculin Identified as a Potential Biomarker in Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome Based on iTRAQ and LC–MS/MS-Based Proteomic Analysis

“…All specimens have accepted the cold provocation test (CPT) and nerve electromyography to diagnose HAVS. These two examinations were performed by professional doctors or trained personnel following the procedures listed in “GBZ 7-2014: diagnosis of occupational hand-arm vibration disease”; the detailed settings and diagnosis standards have been shown in early papers. , Their performance in clinical examinations were shown in Table S1.…”
