Hand-arm vibration syndrome is a complex condition with vascular, sensorineural, and musculoskeletal components. Workers who handle vibratory tools suffer from it, and the severity of this syndrome is now graded internationally using the Stockholm classification. For compensation purposes the severity must be translated into impairment and this paper proposes how this may be done using the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. The case history of a typical claimant is presented to demonstrate how an impairment rating might be derived.
手臂振动综合征是一种具有血管、感觉神经和肌肉骨骼成分的复杂病症。操作振动工具的工人易患此病，目前该综合征的严重程度在国际上采用斯德哥尔摩分类法进行分级。出于赔偿目的，必须将严重程度转化为损伤程度，本文提出了如何使用《美国医学协会永久性损伤评估指南》来做到这一点。文中介绍了一位典型索赔人的病历，以说明如何得出损伤评级。
