Danish term

e. arm og hånd

Danish to English Medical Medical (general) neurology after WAD/whiplash
as in:

stivhed i ryggen og nakken, svimmelhed og sløret syn samt sovende fornemmelse i e. arm og hånd

I have a strong suspicion that this is really a typo for
ve. arm og hånd

It can barely be anything else (or can it??) and there are other typos of the more obvious sort equivalent to hte for the.

But it occurs several times, and I wonder... Does anyone know of anything else it could be?

The medical records are very staccato, but otherwise more or less typical descriptions of the pains and symptoms of whiplash injury.

The text is a series of medical records to be used by the insurers.

Thanks for any comments!

It is a typo It is quite clearly a typo - I only skimmed the text when it arrived, as it is very typical for this kind of case. The records have been typed by several different people, but one has some characteristic typos, including this one.

All the references are to venstre or ve. throughout.
And I won´t point fingers at other people's typos - I can make my own :-D

I think you are right that it should be ve. arm og hånd.
e. arm og hånd does not makee sense to me. I used to be a nurse).
