Publisher's Synopsis

According to estimates, hand-arm vibration jeopardizes the health and future employability of at least two million workers in the USA alone. A broad-based approach to the problem is needed because an accurate evaluation of the health effects of hand-arm vibration involves engineering, medicine, physiology, epidemiology, mathematics and statistics.;This volume provides the necessary multidisciplinary approach, helping to close current gaps in the understanding of such critical areas as hand-arm vibration generation, transmission and control; the basic physiological response of the blood vessels, nerves and musculoskeletal tissues to hand-arm vibration stimuli; and dose-response relationships.;The book covers the health effects of hand-arm vibration, including pathophysiology and epidemiology; treatment and management; basic principles and measurement; hand-arm vibration standards and guidelines; and legal compensation.
