Abstract Background Work resumption is a big challenge in the rehabilitation process for individuals with whiplash-associated disorders (WAD). To better meet needs of WAD their return to work process, more knowledge on experiences and perspectives needed. The aim this study was explore ability situation who participated neck-specific exercise programme chronic WAD. Methods This qualitative has ...

BACKGROUND Patients with whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) have a generally favourable prognosis, yet some develop longstanding pain and disability. Predicting who will recover from WAD shortly after a traffic collision is very challenging for health care providers such as physical therapists. Therefore, we aimed to develop a prediction model for the recovery of WAD in a cohort of patients wh...

STUDY DESIGN Controlled study, measuring head repositioning error (HRE) using an electrogoniometric device. OBJECTIVE To compare HRE in neutral position, axial rotation and complex postures of patients with whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) to that of control subjects. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The presence of kinesthetic alterations in patients with WAD is controversial. METHODS In 26...

STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study using a cross-sectional design. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether there is a pattern of altered scapular orientation during arm elevation in patients with insidious onset neck pain (IONP) and whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) compared to asymptomatic people. BACKGROUND Altered activity in the axioscapular muscles and impairments in scapular orientat...

This multidisciplinary in-depth investigation of accidents using 24 occupants with neck symptoms shows the complexity of whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) in frontal impacts with respect to factors that influence occurrence as well as duration of symptoms. Several different occupant kinematics have been identified, all resulting in symptoms classified as WAD. Compared to occupants restrained ...

Abstract Detailed mineralogical and textural studies, combined with sequential X-ray diffraction geochemical modeling, helped to solve the “copper pitch/wad” enigma in Exótica deposit located downstream of Chuquicamata porphyry copper deposit. Copper pitch wad are essentially chrysocolla co-precipitated Mn oxides, mainly birnessite, as well pseudo-amorphous oxide/oxyhydroxides. Linking mineralo...

A research study was carried out on the indirect selection efforts amongst small scale holders of West African Dwarf (WAD) goats based on coat pigmentation and wattle types in Ogbomoso, Nigeria using personal interviews and structured questionnaires given using simple random on-farm techniques. The questionnaires were focused on the ownership distribution, preferred pigmentation and wattle type...

STUDY DESIGN Systematic literature review. OBJECTIVES To assess differences in center of pressure (COP) measures in patients suffering from non-specific neck pain (NSNP) or whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) compared to healthy controls and any relationship between changes in postural sway and the presence of pain, its intensity, previous pain duration and the perceived level of disability. ...
