| Abstract |
Follow-up of a study performed in 24 operators in 1975, since when working conditions and therapeutic methods have been improved. Symptoms such as Raynaud's phenomenon, finger numbness and listlessness, irritability, and hearing disorders, showed a tendency to improve, while other complaints did not. In view of the long recovery time (if at all) of sensory and peripheral circulatory functions, the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of vibration hazards is stressed. |
