Dead Hand risk in workers using high speed vibrating tools
A medical notice from 1946 explains the condition known as dead hand, a vascular disorder like Raynaud's disease affecting workers who use high speed vibrating tools. Attacks cause sudden pallor and numbness in fingers, often starting with an unconscious tool drop, and are worsened by cold. Treatment focuses on avoiding cold, warming the hand, and, rarely, sympathectomy. Preventive measures include limiting tool use to about nine months a year and rubber sheathing on tools.
