✦ Synopsis


Hand-grip force was measured in 63 professional lumberjacks in 1978 and again in 1980 Lumberjacks with vibration-induced white fingers (VWF) had lost 21 % of their muscle force during the two years Lumberjacks with no hand-arm symptoms had lost 5 % of their muscle force in the same time period Lumberjacks with subjectively diminished hand muscle force had a slight increase in muscle force during the follow-up time These results suggest that long-term exposure to vibration causes a decrease in muscle force.
