Hand arm vibration is a potentially
crippling condition that currently jeopardizes the health and
potential employability of an estimated two million workers in
the United States and Great Britain.
Yet because the treatment and prevention
of hand-arm vibration involves the interaction of disparate disciplines,
many health professionals often find themselves having to consult
several resources. Hand-Arm Vibration fills in these gaps
by providing accessible information on the engineering, medical,
physiological, epidemiological, mathematical, and statistical
aspects of this debilitating condition, all in one easy-to-use
resource. This informative guide covers the health effects of
hand-arm vibration in detail, including treatment and management,
basic principle and measurement, hand-arm vibration standards
and guides, vibration control using engineering and ergonomic
principles, and legal compensation. Since the terminology associated
with hand-arm vibration is still evolving, a glossary defining
specialized and often unfamiliar terms is also included.
Hand-Arm Vibration is the only comprehensive guide which provides
a multi-disciplinary approach to treating this growing health
problem, making it an essential desk top reference for any health
professional who has an occupational medical practice.
The
Second Edition of Hand-Arm Vibration is
available from OEM Press.
