Abstract

Instability is a frequent symptom after whiplash (WL) with alterations in postural control in chronic phases. The main objective of our study was to evaluate if there were objective alterations in postural control in the acute phases after a WL, as well as to determine the presence or absence of oculomotor alterations in early phases. A posturographic study was carried out using the NedSVE/IBV system, as well as an oculomotor assessment, in a sample of 44 patients with WL in the first 24h after the accident. More than half of the patients had a global assessment below normal. The predominant sensory pattern was vestibular. The main parameters of the Romberg test (total displacement, swept area, average speed, anteroposterior and mediolateral displacement and anteroposterior force) increased following the sequence Romberg open eyes, Romberg foam rubber open eyes, Romberg closed eyes, and Romberg foam rubber closed eyes. Concerning the comparison with normality and using the reference values of the Institute of Biomechanics of Valencia, the data from the WL patients showed significant differences in all the parameters analysed, except for gait assessment and the mediolateral directional rhythmic control. Our data confirm that pat...Continue Reading
