The analysis of the mechanics contact interactions fingers/handle and stress/strain distributions in soft tissues fingertip is essential to optimize design tools reduce many occupation-related hand disorders. In present study, a three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model for proposed simulate nonlinear time-dependent responses static dynamic loadings. FE incorporates anatomical structures finger: skin layers (outer inner skins), subcutaneous tissue, bone nail. (inner tissue) are...
The vascular symptoms of hand-arm vibration syndrome, including cold-induced vasospasm, are in part mediated by increased sensitivity cutaneous arteries to sympathetic stimulation. goal the present study was use a rat tail model analyze effects on function and alpha-adrenoceptor (AR) responsiveness. Rats were exposed single period (4 h, 125 Hz, constant acceleration 49 m/s2 root mean square). physical or biodynamic response demonstrated transmissibility resonance at this frequency, similar...
Vibration-reducing (VR) gloves are commonly used as a means to help control exposures hand-transmitted vibrations generated by powered hand tools. The objective of this study was characterise the vibration transmissibility spectra and frequency-weighted VR at palm in three orthogonal directions. Seven adult males participated evaluation seven glove models using three-dimensional hand-arm test system. Three levels coupling force were applied experiment. This found that, general, most...
Dentists, dental hygienist, and veterinary technicians using drills, scalers polishers are at risk of developing sensorineural deficits in the fingers hands. The goal this study was to determine whether exposure high-frequency vibration contributed changes sensory function. tails rats were exposed 1250 Hz (constant acceleration 49 m/s2) for 4 hours per day, 10 days. effects on nerve function, vascular function measured. Vibration increased sensitivity applied pressure transcutaneous...
For exposure to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV), personal protective equipment is sold in the form of anti-vibration (AV) gloves, but it remains unclear how much these gloves actually reduce or prevent development hand-arm syndrome workplace. This commentary describes some issues that surround classification AV assessment their effectiveness and applicability The available information shows are unreliable as devices for controlling HTV exposures. Other means control, such using alternative...
