The effect of a neck-specific exercise program on cervical kinesthesia for patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorders: a case-control study.

Introduction: Cervical kinesthesia is an important part of movement control and of great importance for daily function. Previous research on kinesthesia in whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) has focused on grades I-II. More research is needed on WAD grade III.

Effects of a Novel Web-Based Sensorimotor Exercise Program for Patients With Subacute Whiplash-Associated Disorders: Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) often becomes a persistent problem and is one of the leading causes of disability in the world. It is a costly condition for individuals, for insurance companies, and for society. Guidelines for the management of WAD have not been updated since 2014, and the use of computer-based sensorimotor exercise programs in treatment for this patient group has not been well documented.

The long-term course of deficient cervical kinaesthesia following a whiplash injury has a tendency to seek a physiological homeostasis. A prospective study.

Background: No research exists for the long-term course of deficient cervical kinaesthesia following a whiplash injury. Prior results depicted two divergent courses of deficient cervical kinaesthesia at 1 year.

Objectives: First, to determine the actual course(s) of untreated deficient cervical kinaesthesia from 1 year to 6-8 years post-collision and second, to investigate the association between the test results versus self-reported disability.

Sincerity of effort versus feigned movement control of the cervical spine in patients with whiplash-associated disorders and asymptomatic persons: a case-control study.

Study Design: Cross-sectional design.

Objectives: To investigate whether the Fly Test can be used to differentiate patients with whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) from asymptomatic persons who deliberately feign symptoms and from WAD patients exaggerating symptoms.

Background: The lack of valid clinical tests makes it difficult to detect a justifiable cause for compensation claims in traumatic neck-pain disorders.

Database of movement control in the cervical spine. Reference normal of 182 asymptomatic persons.

In this study, the first normative database of movement control in the cervical spine has been established. For this purpose the Fly Test was used, which is a reliable and valid clinical test capable of detecting deficient movement control of the cervical spine in patients with neck pain and its associated disorders. One hundred and eighty-two asymptomatic persons, eighty-three men and ninety-nine women, aged 16-74 years, divided into six age groups, were recruited.

Two different courses of impaired cervical kinaesthesia following a whiplash injury. A one-year prospective study.

A longitudinal study was conducted to observe persons with neck pain after motor vehicle collisions. The aims were to reveal the prospective development of cervical kinaesthesia and to investigate the association between the test results and self-reported pain and disabilities. Two different cervical kinaesthetic tests, the Fly test and the Head-Neck Relocation test, measured movement control and the relocation accuracy of the cervical spine, respectively.

"The Fly": a new clinical assessment and treatment method for deficits of movement control in the cervical spine: reliability and validity.

Study Design: Test-retest and case-control study designed to detect accuracy of cervical spine movements by comparing 3 incrementally difficult movement patterns. An asymptomatic group, a nontrauma neck pain group, and a group with whiplash-associated disorders, Grade II, were tested (n = 18 in each group).

Objective: To determine the test-retest reliability and the discriminative validity of the new Fly method.
