Postocclusive reactive hyperemia in hand-arm vibration syndrome

Postocclusive reactive hyperemia in hand-arm vibration syndrome.

OBJECTIVES To assess laser Doppler-recorded postocclusive reactive hyperemic responses in vibration-induced Raynaud's phenomenon and compare it with primary and secondary to sclerodermy Raynaud's phenomenon. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty patients with vibration-induced Raynaud's phenomenon and 30 healthy controls and patients with primary and secondary to sclerodermy Raynaud's phenomenon were i...

Hand-arm vibration syndrome.

The hand-arm vibration syndrome affects workers who perform tasks that generate vibration. Raynaud's phenomenon and sensory impairment of the fingers are the predominant effects. A history of hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure in a patient with these symptoms should alert the physician to the diagnosis. Referral to a special clinic or hospital department for multiple clinical tests is required t...

The hand-arm vibration syndrome: an update.

Clinical assessment of hand-arm vibration syndrome.

The clinical assessment of patients thought to be suffering from hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) requires the use of multiple vascular and sensory tests. In a family physician's office, Adson's, Allen's and cold water immersion of the hands are the only feasible vascular tests, while the sensory tests have to be limited to assessing impairment of skin sensitivity and manipulative dexterity. ...
