Abstract
Peculiarities of nervous system functional state in electric welders exposed to manganese compounds. To evaluate nervous system functional state in electric welders exposed to manganese compounds, the authors conducted transverse study with matched pairs. The electric welders' tests for response rate, diadochokinesis and grasping power were not reliable. No changes were found in tremor characteristics and posture steadiness. Bradykinesia appeared to prevail in welders.
