Application of a new, self-recording, vibratory sensation meter to measure temporary threshold shift of vibratory sensation caused by local vibration exposure.
A new, self-recording, vibratory sensation meter measures temporary threshold shifts of vibratory sensation (TTSv) on a finger tip. After exposure to hand-transmitted vibration with exposure frequencies 63 Hz, 200 Hz and 500 Hz, and levels of acceleration 1 g, 2 g, 4 g and 8 g, fingertip measurements were obtained. Temporary threshold shift immediately after the vibratory exposure (TTSv,0) was ...
متن کاملVibratory Sensation Testing
In order to appreciate the clinical significance of this test it is necessary to understand the basic anatomy of the somatosensory pathways involved (see Figure 1). The afferent fibres arising from the cutaneous receptors responsible for the detection of vibration, together with those of touch and proprioception, synapse with the first order neurons located in the dorsal root ganglia of the spi...
متن کاملTemporary threshold shift of vibratory sensation induced by a vibrating handle and its gripping force.
OBJECTIVE This study examines the effect of the force with which a vibrating handle is gripped on the temporary threshold shift of vibratory sensation (TTSv) induced by hand-arm vibration. METHODS Six healthy subjects gripped a handle vibrating with a 1.3 octave-band vibration, with a central frequency of 200 Hz and an intensity of 39.2 m/s2. Exposure was for 1 min and 10 min, respectively. G...
متن کاملChanges of the vibratory sensation threshold in workers using vibrating tools.
Vibratory sensation thresholds of ten fingertips of each person were measured by each of the three frequencies in groups using three kinds of vibrating tools and the control groups. The subject groups were using leg-drill (n=37), chipping-hammer (n=25) and chain-saw (n=19). The control groups were engaged in desk work or outdoor work in a bureau of forest management (n=24), a local forest offic...
متن کاملTemporary threshold shifts in fingertip vibratory sensation from hand-transmitted vibration and repetitive shock.
Temporary threshold shifts (TTSs) in vibrotactile perception produced by continuous vibration and repetitive shock have been investigated. Subjects were exposed to vertical hand-transmitted 100 Hz continuous vibration and various repetitive shocks of equal energy content formed from one complete cycle of a 100 Hz sine wave. The repetition rate of the cycles was 5, 25, 50, or 100 s-1 while the r...
