This double-blind case-control study on hand-arm vibration syndrome was sponsored by the Society of Occupation Medicine Golden Jubilee Travelling Scholarship Committee in 1987. It involved collaborative work between the author and the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Institute of Occupational Health, Helsinki, Finland. The procedure consisted of administration of a questionnaire, clinical examination of subjects in the study group and depth-sense esthesiometry for all subjects including the controls. Of 34 subjects admitted to the study, 14 out of 15 patients were positively diagnosed as suffering from the syndrome and one out of 19 in the control group had a false positive result. The study showed that the new esthesiometer, although not totally objective, could be regarded as an effective tool for the diagnosis of hand-arm vibration syndrome in clinical and field studies.
这项关于手臂振动综合征的双盲病例对照研究由职业医学协会五十周年旅行奖学金委员会于1987年赞助。它涉及作者与芬兰赫尔辛基职业健康研究所临床神经科学系之间的合作。该程序包括发放问卷、对研究组的受试者进行临床检查以及对包括对照组在内的所有受试者进行深度感觉觉测量。在纳入研究的34名受试者中，15名患者中有14名被确诊患有该综合征，对照组19名中有1名出现假阳性结果。研究表明，这种新的感觉觉测量仪虽然并非完全客观，但可被视为在临床和现场研究中诊断手臂振动综合征的有效工具。
