Abstract

Abstract
Background: Patients with grade II whiplash injuries have physical signs of decreasing range of neck movement and palpable tenderness. Many patients with whiplash injury report diffuse symptoms of sensory disturbances and generalised muscle weakness. Whiplash injury has profound effects on both peripheral and central pain-processing mechanisms. Approximately 50% of subjects who sustain a whiplash injury will not recover but will continue to report ongoing pain and disability one year after the injury.
Aim of Study: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between pain and neck mobility in Egyptian patients with grade II whiplash injury.
Subjects and Methods: Fifteen Egyptian patients with grade II whiplash injury from both genders were selected for this study. All the patients were assessed for pain by visual analogue scale and cervical range of motion by Cervical Range of Motion goniometer (CROM).
Results: There is strong negative significant correlation between level of pain by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and neck bending to right and left only.
Conclusion: There is negative correlation between level of pain and side bending to right and left in Egyptian patients with grade II whiplash injury.
