ABSTRACT

It was further observed from head potentiometers that the head has increasing posterior translation and decreasing extension with increasing levels of trauma (Cholewicki et al., 1998). This suggests that Phase I of the whiplash becomes more pronounced, and Phase II less so, with increasing levels of trauma.

Figure 12.3 Movie still photographs and schematics of the trauma shown in Figure 12.2 illustrating starting neutral position (NP) (A), initial response phase with upper level flexion and lower level extension (B), and the subsequent complete extension of the cervical spine (C).
