Abstract | Background: Sustained exposure to high-level hand-transmitted vibrations may result in angioneurotic disorders, which partly originate from vibration-altered hemodynamics in the finger arteries when repeating these disturbances throughout working life. Hence, the aim of this study is to assess the most relevant hemodynamic descriptors in the digital arteries, determine the relationship between the latter and vibration features, and gain better understanding of the physiological mechanisms involved. Methods: An experimental setup, mainly comprised of an ultra-high frequency ultrasound scanner and a vibration shaker, was used to image the digital proper volar arteries of the forefinger. Raw ultrasound data were post-processed by custom-made numerical routines to supply a pulsatile fluid mechanics model for computing the hemodynamic descriptors. Twenty-four healthy volunteers participated in the measurement campaign. Classical statistical methods were then applied to the dataset and also the wavelet transform for calculating the signal power in the frequency bands matching cardiac, respiratory, myogenic and neurogenic activities. Results: The artery diameter, the wall shear stress - WSS - and the WSS temporal gradient - WSSTG - were found to be the most relevant descriptors. Vibration-induced WSS was divided by three compared to its basal value whatever the vibration frequency and it was proportional to log Conclusion: This study may pave the way for a new framework to prevent vibration-induced vascular risk. |
