Would electronic signatures be suitable for a disabled man who's physically unable to write to sign documents?

The person I am referring to is perfectly able to understand documents and verbally agree to them but cannot really hold a pen so cannot record this agreement. Someone has suggested he could use electronic signatures. How would this work? Don't you have to be able to sign something first then scan it into a computer?

Different laws in different states; and most states won't accept them. Check with the local clerk of the court; he might just have to use the age old "x"

Generally not.
In this case the signee may appoint a surrogate that signs for the signee, in front of a notary that verifies the identification of the signee, and the verbal approval to have a designee sign for them.

Most banks can use a thumb print for identificatin under these circumstances.

Have a notary notarized his mark.
