[Multiple local involvement of peripheral nerves in workers suffering from occupational hands disorders].

Stimulation and needle electromyography studies covered 102 patients with occupational hands disorders. 87% of the examinees showed tunnel syndromes signs: 44% of those had one tunnel syndrome, 36% - two synromes, and 7% - multiple ones. The results failed to demonstrate reliable difference in tunnel syndrome frequency for vibration exposure and functional hands overstrain.

[Increased neuromuscular excitability syndrome in vibration disease].

The article deals with specification of criteria to use needle electromyography in diagnosis of increased neuromuscular excitability syndrome in patients with vibration disease caused by local vibration.
