- OBJECTIVE: Electrical accidents cause both acute and long-term injuries. The care of acute injuries is somewhat standardized, but currently recommendations or assessment tools are not available for assessing the long-term effects of an accident on hand function.METHODS: A case-control study of 24 healthy controls and 24 cases, 1-5 years after an electrical accident and with self-reported neurosensory symptoms, was performed using three hand-function tests: the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, the Purdue Pegboard test and the Shape and Identification (STI) test.RESULTS: Compared to the control group, patients received statistically significantly lower scores for the DASH outcome measure and the Purdue Pegboard and for one finger on the STI test.CONCLUSION: Hand function is affected after an electrical accident in individuals with self-reported neurosensory symptoms.
