An Integrated Model of Chronic Whiplash-Associated Disorder.

David M Walton, James M Elliott

PMID 28622487

WHAT IT FOUND

There is no clinical finding to report.

What this paper is

This is a conceptual model of chronic whiplash-associated disorder, not an original study. It reviews existing ideas and proposes a biopsychosocial framework, but it reports no participants, methods, outcomes, or treatment results. There is no finding here to change your practice.

The easy way to misread this

Do not use this model as proof that a treatment works or that patients are at fault. It proposes a framework and reviews existing evidence, not a tested clinical result.
