چکیده    Effects of vibration appear as mechanical and psychological disorders, including stress reactions, cognitive and movement disorders, problem in concentration and paying attention to the assigned duties. the common signs and symptoms of hand‑arm vibration (hav) in the fingers and hands may appear as pins and needles feeling, tingling, numbness, and also the loss of finger sensation and dexterity. laboratory virtual instrument engineering workbench programming software designed for occupational vibrations measurement was used to calculate hav acceleration. hole steadiness test is designed to measure involuntary movement of people. v‑pieron test is designed for one of the other aspects of the psycho motor phenomena of steadiness by moving the stylus across a v‑form ruler. the two points test was an experiment of touch acuity, which used a caliper by placing the two styli very close on the pad of finger knuckles. the temperature of finger skin is also measured simultaneous to the above tests. wilcoxon test indicated that a significant decrement in hand steadiness occurred after gripping a vibrating handle for 2 min (p ≤ 0.003). wilcoxon test also represented a significant change in errors after gripping a grinder vibratory handle (p ≤ 0.003). the differences at all of the knuckles were significant with a confidence interval percentage of 99%. there was a significant reduction in finger skin temperature before and after exposure to vibration (mean = 0.45°c, based on paired sample test). the obtained results considerably demonstrated the relation between hand performance and vibrations due to gripping a grinder. it can be concluded that an injury or accident may happen after exposure to vibrations for the fine duties, in fast actions.
