| vibration | 1. The act of vibrating, or the state of being vibrated, or in vibratory motion; quick motion to and fro; oscillation, as of a pendulum or musical string. "As a harper lays his open palm Upon his harp, to deaden its vibrations." (Longfellow) 2. <physics> A limited reciprocating motion of a particle of an elastic body or medium in alternately opposite directions from its position of equilibrium, when that equilibrium has been disturbed, as when a stretched cord or other body produces musical notes, or particles of air transmit sounds to the ear. The path of the particle may be in a straight line, in a circular arc, or in any curve whatever. Vibration and oscillation are both used, in mechanics, of the swinging, or rising and falling, motion of a suspended or balanced body; the latter term more appropriately, as signifying such motion produced by gravity, and of any degree of slowness, while the former applies especially to the quick, short motion to and fro which results from elasticity, or the action of molecular forces among the particles of a body when disturbed from their position of rest, as in a spring. Amplitude of vibration, the maximum displacement of a vibrating particle or body from its position of rest. Phase of vibration, any part of the path described by a particle or body in making a complete vibration, in distinction from other parts, as while moving from one extreme to the other, or on one side of the line of rest, in distinction from the opposite. Two particles are said to be in the same phase when they are moving in the same direction and with the same velocity, or in corresponding parts of their paths. Origin: L. Vibratio: cf. F. Vibration.

| vibration syndrome | <syndrome> Tingling, numbness, and blanching of the fingers resulting from use of hand-held vibration tools; may persist without further exposure to vibration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vibration tolerance | The maximum vibratory or oscillatory movements that an individual can experience and bear without pain; the limit of tolerance is a function of amplitude and frequency of the vibration and varies with the direction of application. (05 Mar 2000) |
| girdle sensation | A sensation as if a cord were drawn around the body, constricting it. Synonym: cincture sensation, girdle sensation, strangalesthesia. Origin: G. Zone, girdle, + aisthesis, sensation (05 Mar 2000) |
| reflex sensation | referred sensation |
| cincture sensation | A sensation as if a cord were drawn around the body, constricting it. Synonym: cincture sensation, girdle sensation, strangalesthesia. Origin: G. Zone, girdle, + aisthesis, sensation (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensation | 1. <physiology> An impression, or the consciousness of an impression, made upon the central nervous organ, through the medium of a sensory or afferent nerve or one of the organs of sense; a feeling, or state of consciousness, whether agreeable or disagreeable, produced either by an external object (stimulus), or by some change in the internal state of the body. "Perception is only a special kind of knowledge, and sensation a special kind of feeling. . . . Knowledge and feeling, perception and sensation, though always coexistent, are always in the inverse ratio of each other." (Sir W. Hamilton) 2. A purely spiritual or psychical affection; agreeable or disagreeable feelings occasioned by objects that are not corporeal or material. 3. A state of excited interest or feeling, or that which causes it. "The sensation caused by the appearance of that work is still remembered by many." (Brougham) Synonym: Perception. Sensation, Perseption. The distinction between these words, when used in mental philosophy, may be thus stated; if I simply smell a rose, I have a sensation; if I refer that smell to the external object which occasioned it, I have a perception. Thus, the former is mere feeling, without the idea of an object; the latter is the mind's apprehension of some external object as occasioning that feeling. "Sensation properly expresses that change in the state of the mind which is produced by an impression upon an organ of sense (of which change we can conceive the mind to be conscious, without any knowledge of external objects). Perception, on the other hand, expresses the knowledge or the intimations we obtain by means of our sensations concerning the qualities of matter, and consequently involves, in every instance, the notion of externality, or outness, which it is necessary to exclude in order to seize the precise import of the word sensation." . Origin: Cf. F. Sensation. See Sensate. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| special sensation | A sensation referred to a stimulus produced by an external body and acting on any of the sense organs. Subjective sensation, a sensation not readily referrable to a denotably verifiable stimulus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delayed sensation | A sensation that is not perceived until the lapse of an appreciable interval following the application of the stimulus. General sensation, a sensation referred to the body as a whole rather than to any particular part. (05 Mar 2000) |
| objective sensation | A sensation caused by a verifiable stimulus. Primary sensation, a sensation that is the direct result of a stimulus. Referred sensation, a sensation felt in one place in response to a stimulus applied in another. Synonym: reflex sensation, transferred sensation. (05 Mar 2000) |
