| Abstract |
The hands of 9 healthy subjects, age range 23-31 years, and of 3 vibrating tool operators with Raynaud's phenomenon, aged 44, 54 and 64 years, were exposed to air at 13-15°C for 60min in 4 seasons. Skin temperature prior to exposure was higher in summer and autumn than in winter and spring. During exposure to cold in summer and autumn the hand temperatures decreased more than in winter and spring. The difference in skin temperature changes between the control subjects and the vibrating tool operators indicated that measurements of skin temperature in winter and spring were the best means of evaluating the peripheral circulatory function. |
