Pushing and gripping forces may contribute to Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome but have not been taken into account so far in vibratory dose assessment according to current standards. To obtain better understanding of symptom onset, we developed…

The exertion of force by an operator in order to hold or guide a machine has an impact on the level of vibrations transmitted to the hand. Prolonged exposure to high levels of vibration can lead to the development of hand-arm vibration syndrome…

Understanding the mechanical behaviour of hand muscles might result in better grasping the onset of pathologies associated with the use of hand-held machines. With the aim of identifying the parameters of constitutive laws of such muscles…

Prolonged exposure to vibrations from handheld tools can result in various disorders. Understanding how vibrations propagate through the hand is a key area of research involved in preventing these disorders. Within this framework, it is essential…

In France, approximately 2.6~million workers are exposed to hand-transmitted vibrations. In the long term, such exposure may result in the onset of vascular, neurological, osteoarticular, or musculoskeletal disorders. The use of rotary machinery…
