Diagnosis of the neurovascular form of vibration syndrome – review of testing methods

Summary/Abstract: Prolonged exposure of humans to local vibration is associated with an increased risk of developing vascular, nervous, and musculoskeletal complaints. This syndrome is called vibration syndrome (vibration sickness). In practice, the disease is often diagnosed only at an advanced stage, when the worker's ability to work and perform daily activities is impaired. It is therefore extremely important that workers exposed to local vibrations undergo periodic examinations that increase the chances of early detection of the disease and, consequently, prevent the development of irreversible changes. The purpose of this article is to familiarize the reader with the testing methods applicable in the diagnosis of the neurovascular form of vibration syndrome.
