Vibration White Finger
Vibration White Finger (VWF) is a condition caused by prolonged exposure to hand-arm vibration, often from tools like jackhammers or power drills. It affects blood circulation in the fingers, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and pain. Over time, these symptoms can become more severe and may result in permanent damage.
Workers in industries that use vibrating equipment are at higher risk for VWF. Preventive measures include using anti-vibration tools, taking regular breaks, and wearing protective gloves. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to minimize the impact of this condition on daily activities and overall health.
