在日本，广泛进行上肢的各种功能测试，以早期诊断振动综合征。这些功能测试的有效性进行了研究判别函数分析。120名接振工人和40名对照工人的正确分类率为83.1%。因此，证实了功能试验作为振动综合征的筛选试验具有诊断意义。然而，仅通过功能测试，该比率不足以做出诊断。当不包括对感冒的检查时，由于在早期阶段遗漏了潜在的功能障碍，该比率降低了10%。为了振动综合征的早期诊断，应将畏寒试验纳入功能检查。此外，为了提高诊断的有效性，功能测试的结果应与主观症状以及骨骼和关节、中枢神经系统和内分泌系统的发现一起评估。
In Japan, various function tests on the upper extremities are widely performed for the early diagnosis of vibration syndrome. The validity of these function tests was investigated by discriminant function analysis. The correct classification rate of the 120 workers exposed to vibration and the 40 control workers was 83.1%, when including the exposure-to-cold test. Therefore, the function tests were confirmed to be of diagnostic significance as a screening test for vibration syndrome. However, the rate is not sufficient to make a diagnosis only with the function tests. When not including the exposure-to-cold test, the rate was reduced by 10% because insidious functional disorders were missed in the early stage. For the early diagnosis of vibration syndrome, the exposure-to-cold test should be included in the function tests. Furthermore, to enhance the validity of the diagnosis, the results of the function tests should be evaluated together with subjective symptoms and the findings on bones and joints, the central nervous system and the endocrine system.
