Risk of vibration-induced vascular injuries linked to vibration frequency differences

Speaking on 19 April at the Experimental Biology 2009 meeting in New Orleans, Dr Kristine Krajnak, a team leader in the Engineering and Control Technologies Branch of the Health Effects Laboratory Division of NIOSH in Morgantown, West Virginia, describes results from the first study to directly link the different physical responses of tissue that occur with exposure to different vibration frequencies with biological mechanisms underlying the development of vascular dysfunction. Her presentation is part of the scientific program of The American Physiological Society...
