| Abstract |
Chronic exposure of the upper limbs to mechanical vibration causes vascular and neurological health problems (often referred to as "angioneurological disorders") as well as damage to the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, muscles, tendons). Even though these various conditions represent different physiopathological and clinical pictures, they are usually referred to as part of "vibration syndrome". Aspects covered in this information note: epidemiology of the syndrome; Raynaud's phenomenon; neuropathy; osteoarticular problems; compensation and prevention in France. |
