Abstract
In 2 groups of men, acclimatized or non-acclimatized locally to cold, hand skin temperature and the arterial blood pressure were measured during exposure to locally applied vibration of strictly defined parameters. In acclimatized subjects the intensity of vasomotor response was smaller than in non-acclimatized ones. Local acclimatization to cold may be a factor alleviating the action of locally applied vibration on the peripheral vascular system. [Occupational exposure to vibration is discussed.].
