Neck-specific Exercises Effectively Improves Whiplash-associated Disorders.

Whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) are common injuries from motor vehicle accidents, typically treated with a return to normal activity and neck exercises. The Spinetrack device has been approved for deep neck musculature training, but its impact on pain and disability in subacute WAD patients in a virtual setting hasn't been evaluated yet. This study aims to assess the effect of a telerehabilitation programme using the Spinetrack device on pain and self-perceived disability in subacute WAD I and II patients. The single-blinded, randomised, controlled clinical trial will involve 102 participants divided into three groups: a telerehabilitation group using Spinetrack, a group with a standard telerehabilitation programme, and a usual care group. Training will be conducted via video call for six weeks. The study expects to confirm that deep neck musculature training reduces pain and disability in WAD patients and establish Spinetrack as an efficient tool for subacute WAD treatment.
