Pathophysiology of whiplash-associated disorders : Theories and controversies

Magnusson, M. LU orcid ; Karlberg, M. LU ; Mariconda, C. ; Bucalossi, A. and Dalmazzo, G. (2014) p.89-94
Abstract

The term “whiplash” already suggests difficulties in assessing this problem. Patients suffering from “whiplash” or “whiplash-associated disorders” (WAD) are defined as having been exposed to similar types of trauma or sometimes even similar mode of impact, rather than as having a certain type of lesion or set of symptoms [1, 2]. The origin of the term “whiplash” is attributed to H. Crowe [3, 4], who suggested a trauma to the cervico-cranial junction based on the mechanism of acceleration and deceleration of the head impact.
