Study: Vibration from Powered-Tool Usage Leads to Artery Damage Occupational Hazards
Millions of people in the workplace are exposed to potential injuries from vibrations caused by powered-tools. Past studies have shown that years of working with hand-held powered-tools could cause hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), known as secondary Raynaud's disease of occupational origin.
HAVS is characterized by excessively reduced blood flow, limiting blood supply to the nerves, muscles, and tendons, and blanching of the fingers. The symptoms include pain, tingling and numbness of the hand, which progresses to loss of dexterity. All patients complain of excessive finger blanching when exposed to cold.------------------------------------------- posted 6:20 AM :: reference link ::
