Whiplash Associated Disorders

Manual treatment of post-whiplash injury – Full Text

Cesar Fernandez de las Penas Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies (2005) 9, 109–119 Abstract Introduction: There are many therapeutic approaches aimed at treating the clinical syndrome resulting from whiplash injury. However, there seems to be little agreement between therapists as to the ideal treatment for these patients. Spinal manipulation/mobilization and soft tissue mobilization techniques […]

Effects of abnormal posture on capsular ligament elongations in a computational model subjected to whiplash loading

Stemper BD, et al. J Biomech. 2005 Jun;38(6):1313-23. Abstract Although considerable biomechanical investigations have been conducted to understand the response of the cervical spine under whiplash (rear impact-induced postero-anterior loading to the thorax), studies delineating the effects of initial spinal curvature are limited. This study advanced the hypothesis that abnormal curvatures (straight or kyphotic) of […]
