Vibration syndrome and deforming osteoarthritis from a comorbidity perspective

This article describes the characteristics of working conditions, clinical presentation, and neuromuscular system function in vibration syndrome caused by localized vibration and its associated course with deforming osteoarthritis in assemblers-riveters using electroneuromyography. It has been established that patients with vibration syndrome caused by localized vibration and its combination with deforming osteoarthritis are characterized by changes in the excitability and functional mobility of the sensorimotor system, and the development of autonomic-sensory polyneuropathy. These changes depend on the severity of vibration syndrome and its combination with deforming osteoarthrosis.
