Abstract Occupational injuries can induce functional limitations in workers both at home and in work settings. In this study, two instruments, the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) were used to document both the immediate and short-term effects of injuries in municipal workers who suffered mainly from strains and sprains.
