| Abstract |
Part II of this paper reviews the clinical and laboratory methods used to diagnose the neurological, vascular and osteoarticular components of the hand-arm vibration syndrome. The prognosis and reversibility of vibration-induced neurological and vascular disorders after cessation of vibration exposure or the introduction of vibration-damped tools are discussed on the basis of follow-up clinical and longitudinal epidemiological studies. The health surveillance of vibration-exposed workers and the medical contra-indications against prolonged exposure to hand-transmitted vibration are discussed. (Part I: see CIS 00-1123). |
