| Abstract |
Report on a study which was made in order to determine whether measurement of hand impedance may be used for the evaluation of white finger disease. A large number of measurements were made on energy absorption and vibration velocity. Some of the measurements were analysed statistically in order to investigate the influence on hand impedance of the subject of the vibration levels, of transient contra-stationary vibrations and the static grip-and-push forces on the handle. The main conclusions were that the only parameters that largely influenced impedance were the static forces and as long as these are considered, the hand impedance method will be just as accurate as a direct method for the determination of absorbed energy. |
