hand arm vibration syndrome

hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS),

a disorder resulting from the use of hand-held vibration tools (for example, pneumatic drills, electric polishers, gas-powered chainsaws). Symptoms consist of: a circulatory disturbance, specifically vasospasm with finger blanching (that is, secondary Raynaud phenomenon); sensorineural changes (numbness and decreased sensitivity), principally limited to the fingers; and various skeletal abnormalities affecting the hand and forearm; may be unilateral or bilateral; initially episodic and triggered by cold exposure, but may ultimately progress and become constant; often carpal tunnel syndrome is associated. Synonym(s): vibration syndrome

A Raynaud-like complex due to cold-induced vasospasm resulting from prolonged use of vibrating hand-held tools
At risk patients Assembly line workers, grinders, mechanics, jack-hammer operators
Diagnosis Plethysmography to identify changes in digital blood flow

Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome

the current medical description of what used to include vibration induced white finger, a condition often suffered by workers using vibrating power tools and often litigated. In such cases use is made of the Taylor Pelmear Scale and the Stockholm Scale as ways of indicating the severity of the disease.
