Abstract

Following the use and manipulation of vibratory tools, the human operator is exposed to a series of influences that can alter the anatomical structure of the hand-finger assembly (HFA) or trigger or aggravate certain pathological manifestations. An analysis of temperature and hand temperature variations is important from the perspective of personalized determination of behavior and maneuverability under these external actions. In the first part of the paper are reviewed several aspects related to the structure of the hand and the forms of manifestation of the effect of the vibrations on them. In the second part of the paper the experimental system is presented and the investigative procedure is developed. In the final part of the paper we analyze the results obtained from two subjects investigated by the projected procedure.
