| Abstract |
The vibrotactile sense thresholds (VSTs) of the middle fingers of 60 healthy persons and 97 patients with hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) or subclinical HAVS were measured quantitatively. There were significant differences in VST among all three groups; the VST values of the patient groups were significantly elevated at higher frequencies. The vibrotactile sense had the largest sensitivity loss at 125Hz and 250Hz; this appeared as a "V"-type hollow on the vibrotactilegram. The method provides a valuable auxiliary detection method for HAVS; the "V"-type hollow in the VST is an early clinical manifestation of HAVS. |
