Vibration White Finger
Vibration White Finger (VWF) is a recognised condition, commonly affecting those workers that regularly use vibratory, rotating or percussive hand guided power tools. Prolonged exposure to such machinery can cause damage to the hand and arm by impaired blood circulation, damage to the nerve supply and musculoskeletal damage.
The symptoms:
- Numbness or whiteness
- Tingling sensation in fingers
- Loss of grip
- Condition deteriorates in cold weather
Symptoms include a tingling sensation and numbness or a distinct whiteness to parts of the finger that can become worse when exposed to cold weather. More severe symptoms include a feeling of loss of grip and reduced dexterity.
