Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders resulting from vibration exposure are well documented. However, the complexity of the reactions of the musculoskeletal system is not clearly understood. An overview is given on the sensory and motor responses associated with human vibration. The likely contribution of vibration-induced alternation of sensory motor functions to disorders is highlighted.
