PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF MECHANICAL VIBRATION ON ANIMALS AND MAN

Abstract

Contents: Rat studies: Metabolic and growth responses of unrestrained rats to repeated exposures of vibration, and effects of vibration on pregnant rats Dog studies: General responses of dogs to whole-body vibration; blood pressure responses to whole-body vibration in anesthetized dogs; and blood flow in arteries of vibrated animals Human studies: Human psychomotor performance during prolonged vertical vibration; oxygen consumption during human vibration exposure; respiratory frequency, tidal volume, and respiratory minute volume in human subjects exposed to vertical whole-body vibration; skin resistance (psycho-galvanic response) during whole-body vibration; body surface responses of standing male subjects subjected to vertical vibrations; occupational Raynaud's phenomena due to vibrating tools; and detection, recognition and identification of visual forms as a function of target size and whole-body vibration.
