SUBJECTS/PATIENTS The study was based on 385 patients who participated in a rehabilitation programme. METHODS Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on their ability to work. The groups were compared with each other with regard...
متن کاملHead repositioning accuracy in patients with whiplash-associated disorders.
STUDY DESIGN Controlled study, measuring head repositioning error (HRE) using an electrogoniometric device. OBJECTIVE To compare HRE in neutral position, axial rotation and complex postures of patients with whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) to that of control subjects.

متن کاملPredictive and discriminative value of shoulder proprioception tests for patients with whiplash-associated disorders.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether patients suffering from whiplash-associated disorders have impaired shoulder proprioception and whether the acuity of shoulder proprioception is reflected in the patients' symptoms and self-rated function. DESIGN A comparative group design, including a correlation design for the patient group. SUBJECTS Patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorders (n=37) ...
متن کاملDaily stressors in patients with acute whiplash associated disorders.
PURPOSE Stressors in acute whiplash associated disorders (WAD), as reported on a daily basis, have hitherto been neglected in research. The primary aim of this study was to describe the most stressful daily situation or event reported by individuals with acute WAD within a month of a whiplash trauma. Another aim was to describe the meaning and significance of these daily stressors, i.e. primary...
متن کاملUse of job-specific functional capacity evaluation to predict the return to work of patients with a distal radius fracture.
OBJECTIVE We examined the predictive validity of a job-specific functional capacity evaluation (FCE) in relation to the return to work of patients with a distal radius fracture. METHOD Return-to-work recommendations for 194 participants with a distal radius fracture were based on FCE performance. Three months after the evaluation, participants were contacted to ascertain their employment stat...
