Records of 277 patients presenting for medicolegal reporting following isolated whiplash injury were studied retrospectively. A range of pre-accident, accident and response variables were recorded. Multivariate analysis was used to determine the main factors that predict physical and psychological outcome after whiplash injury. The factors that showed significant association with poor outcome on both physical and psychological outcome scales were pre-injury back pain, high frequency of General Practitioner attendance, evidence of pre-injury depression or anxiety symptoms, front position in the vehicle and pain radiating away from the neck after injury. The strongest associations were with factors that are present before impact. In this selected cohort of patients, there is a physical and a psychological vulnerability that may explain the widely varied response to low violence indirect neck injury.

“…Ryan et al, 15 for example, reported an increased injury risk in persons unaware of the impending crash; and Siegmund et al 16 have recently provided an experimentally based explanation for this. Other risk factors reported to increase the risk for occupant injury in low-velocity crashes include a head rotated position, 4,17 prior neck pain or injury, [17][18][19] advanced age, 20 and degenerative changes in the spine. 4 Observational studies of real-world crashes and the resultant injuries indicate relatively low mean crash injury thresholds and a lower threshold intercept for speed change near zero for the most susceptible minority of the population.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether healthy adult volunteers report symptoms following exposure to low-speed frontal crashes at low velocities. Methods: Nineteen medically screened, healthy, informed, and willing volunteers (17 men, 2 women; mean age, 37 years) were exposed to low-speed frontal crashes. All volunteers were seated in the rear seat position of the bullet vehicle. Closing velocities ranged from 4.1 to 8.3 mph (mean, 6.7 mph). For the bullet vehicle, the delta V ranged from 1.4 to 3.9 mph with a mean of 2.8 mph.Results: Eighty-eight percent of volunteers attributed symptoms of discomfort to their crash exposure. All reported symptoms were transient, and none required medical treatment. The mean duration was 1 day. Conclusions: Even at relatively low speeds, there is no lower threshold below which it can be reasonably assumed that healthy and prepared volunteer rear seat passengers will not sustain some level of minor injury in a frontal collision. Although the reported mean delta V for injured persons in real-world frontal crashes has been reported to be as high as 8.1 mph, this does not offer any insight into the minimum threshold for such injuries among all at-risk vehicle occupants.

“…Å knytte radiologiske forandringer til en bestemt hendelse kan derfor vaere vanskelig. Det er imidlertid viktig å utspørre pasienten på en slik måte at adekvat informasjon fremkommer, da slike eldre skader gjerne bidrar til å forverre et akutt traume (20,21). Det er ikke tilstrekkelig å spørre om aktuelle skader eller episoder fra kort tid tilbake, dersom det foreligger et cervikobrakialt syndrom med nakke-, skulder-og armsmerter.…”
