Little is known about how vibration causes this reduction in sensitivity, and currently no testing procedures have been developed to monitor changes in sensory perception during ongoing exposures. We used a rat-tail model of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) to determine whether changes in sensory nerve function could be detected after acute exposure to.http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fmus.20799 |
