Full textWhiplash is a bodily injury, where the person that is injured is subjected to force towards the neck, mainly in traffic accidents. Even low speed accidents can cause severe damage due to the complicated muscle and nerve structure of the neck. Symptoms range from neck aches and headaches to numb fingers and this makes the Whiplash injury difficult to diagnose. Whiplash is also a treacherous injury due to the fact that the symptoms can not be objectively verified. The principal symptom of the injury is pain, which is to its nature highly subjective. One problem that is fairly unique for Whiplash is that it can take several years for the injury to expose itself.
The starting point for the essay is to examine what kind of problems that might, given the unique character of Whiplash, present themselves to the victim of Whiplash. The problem of verifying the symptoms objectively, and the fact that more than 90% of the people subjected to this kind of injury manage to recover, means that the remaining 10% are viewed sceptically by the insurance companies. These persons often claim that the injury of Whiplash is due to a different, competing incident. The right to compensation, in case of an accident, is a fundamental pillar of the Swedish welfare society. Few people would object to this, but the general perception is also that compensation should not be paid to anyone that has not been subjected to an injury. However, this pose a problem to the Whiplash victim, where a significant amount of time often passes before the pain caused by the injury reveals itself. The requirements placed by the courts on the burden of proof, and whom is responsible for obtaining this evidence, are questions that naturally arises in Whiplash related dis-putes. The verdict of the courts is often based on the medical evaluation provided by the arguing parties. Unfortunately the opinions of the various doctors involved are often contradictory.
A consequence caused by the fact that a long time may pass before the Whiplash related pains reveal themselves is that the statute of limitation may have expired before the injured person has a possibility to pursue a claim of compensation in court. The 31 § (ex 28 §) of the Swedish traffic regulation is not very clear on this issue and only states that the statute of limitations relating to traffic accidents are three and ten years respectively. The start of the limitation period occurs when the person wishing to file a claim has sufficient knowledge to do so. What is meant by sufficient knowledge is not further specified in paragraph 31 TSL; this has been left in the hands of the court to decide. Until recently the verdicts of the court have often been in favour of the in-surance companies. This in the sense that the statute of limitation was considered to start at the time of the accident; a point in time that could easily be objectively verified. This had the unfortunate consequence of often leaving Whiplash victims in a position where they would be facing a fait accompli, i.e. of having their claims rejected due to the statute of limitation. One could say that a conflict existed between the injured person’s need for compensation and the insurance companies’ need of settling insurance claims in a quick an orderly fashion. However, in recent years the Swedish Supreme Court has made several rulings to specify what is meant by “sufficient knowledge”.
Unfortunately these problems show no signs of becoming less relevant, with the amount of accidents resulting in Whiplash injuries estimated to amount to more than half of the 60 000 cases of personal injuries reported to the Swedish insurance compa-nies in 2003.
Berglund, Jimmy. "Eftermonterbart whiplash-skydd till BMW 5-serie." Thesis, Department of Management and Engineering, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-19720.
Full textSyftet med denna examensrapport är att ta fram ett eftermonterbart whiplashskydd till BMW 5-serie. Detta eftersom att denna modell, jämfört med modeller i samma prisklass, har fått mycket dåliga resultat i två oberoende whiplashtest.
Projektet resulterade i ett skydd som enkelt och tryggt kan monteras på nackstöden i bilen. Skyddet reducerar risken för en whiplashskada genom att minska det kritiska avståndet mellan huvud och nackstöd. Konstruktionen av skyddet är okomplicerad men designad så att den inte kan röra sig ur läge vid en kollision.
För att nå fram till detta resultat har en designmetodik använts som är lämpad för just detta ändamål. Designmetodiken innefattar olika processer så som brainstorming och evalueringsmatris.
Resultatet i denna rapport är endast ett koncept, så vidare utveckling krävs för att nå fram till en färdig produkt.
The objective of this master thesis is to develop a post-mountable whiplash protection device for the BMW 5 Series. The reason for this is that the model has, in comparison to other models in the same price range, performed porely in two independent whiplash tests.
The outcome of the project is a protection device that can be mounted in an easy and safe way on the headrests in the car. The protection device will reduce the risk of a whiplash injury by decreasing the critical distance between the head and the headrest. The protection device's design is simple, but engineered to prevent the device from moving out of position in case of a collision.
In order to reach the result, a design method suitable for this kind of work has been used. The design method involves different processes like brainstorming and the use of an evaluation matrix.
The result of the thesis is only conceptual, and further development is necessary to reach a final product.

Full textAbstrakt
Att drabbas av kroniska whiplashassocierade besvär kan innebära olika former av funktionshinder som påverkar patientens livskvalitet. Grad av påverkan i det dagliga livet förefaller vara individuellt. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa faktorer som hade betydelse för kroniska WAD patienters skildring av
det dagliga livet. Metoden bestod i att fjorton artiklar funna via referensdatabasrena Pubmed/Medline och Chinal samt manuella sökningar, sammanställdes och analyserades med manifest kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att; smärta, självkänsla, copingstrategier och yttre omständigheter hade betydelse
för patienternas redogörelse av hur det dagliga livet påverkades. En komplexitet förelåg bakom tillståndet kronisk WAD, där ovanstående faktorer kunde antas vara av lika stor betydelse för hur patienten bemästrade det dagliga livet. Slutsatser: För att stödja patienten genom den livsomställning som tillståndet kan innebära krävs omvårdnadsåtgärder som bygger på den enskilda patientens livsberättelse. En omvårdnadsmodell som grundar sig på en utförlig anamnes bör utarbetas i syfte att vidga patientens tillfredställelse i det dagliga livet. Författarna efterlyser även kvalitativ forskning inom området.

Full textThe aims of the present thesis were to evaluate the management of acute WAD and to develop, describe and evaluate a cognitive behavioural approach for the physiotherapy management of long-term WAD as well as to study the predictors and mediating factors for long-term disability and pain after a whiplash injury.
Two approaches for acute and chronic WAD were evaluated in experimental studies. Fifty-nine patients with acute whiplash injury (study I) and 33 patients with chronic WAD (study V), were randomised into experimental and control groups. In addition, three chronic WAD patients participated in an experimental single case study (study IV). Home exercise programmes for patients with acute WAD were used in study I. In study IV a physiotherapy management with integrated components of cognitive-behavioural origin was tried for chronic WAD patients. In study V physiotherapy treatment in primary care units and a physiotherapy management with integrated components of cognitive-behavioural origin was tried for chronic WAD patients. Study I showed that a home exercise programme including training of neck and shoulder range of motion (ROM), relaxation and general advice, appears to be a sufficient treatment for most acute WAD patients. Further, the results of study IV and V suggest that cognitive behavioural components m be useful in physiotherapy treatment for patients with chronic WAD, but its contribution is not yet fully understood.
Study III showed that the significance of coping as an explanatory factor for disability increased during the one-year period after a whiplash injury. In study V it was concluded that self-efficacy is related to patients' use of different coping styles. A model to study coping as a mediator between self-efficacy and disability was therefore introduced. In a path-analytic framework, data from subjects in study I were re-analysed to illustrate a theoretical standpoint that emphasises the process of coping. With regard to disability, the proportion of explained variance increased from 39% at three weeks after the accident, to 79% at one-year follow-up. These results also show that coping has a crucial and mediating role between self-efficacy and disability. Positive long- term outcomes in WAD-patients would therefore be improved by, shortly after an accident, boosting self- efficacy and teaching patients to use active, adaptive coping strategies to manage their problems.

Full textBakgrund Skallskador utgör ett stort folkhälsoproblem, särskilt eftersom många som skadas är unga. Skallskador är också, parallellt med självmord, den vanligaste dödsorsaken hos ungdomar och unga vuxna. De flesta av skadorna klassas som ”lätta” i akutskedet men trots det så kommer en del av patienterna att drabbas av kvarstående besvär, t ex smärta, koncentrationssvårigheter, depression och nedsatt livstillfredsställelse. Whiplashskador är nästan lika vanligt förekommande som skallskador och uppkommer framförallt i trafikolyckor. Även fall- och sportskador orsakar emellertid ett betydande antal whiplashskador. I normalfallet avtar de akuta symptomen inom några veckor men en del av patienterna anger att de får kvarstående besvär. Ett flertal skademekanismer i nackens vävnader är kända men tyvärr svåra att verifiera eller utesluta. Huvudsyfte Att undersöka förekomsten av skallskador och whiplashskador i en väldefinierad population samt beskriva restsymptom, funktions-nedsättningar och livstillfredsställelse hos de drabbade tre till fem år efter skadan. Material och metod Förekomsten av skadorna (Studie I, III och IV) Studierna baseras på skadedatabasen vid Norrlands Universitetssjukhus i Umeå (NUS). I skadedatabasen registreras alla patienter som söker till akutmottagningen efter en skadehändelse, ca 10 000 fall per år. När patienterna anmäler sig i receptionen tilldelas de en skadejournal som de själva fyller i i väntan på att bli undersökta. När patienter inkommer med svårare skador får anhöriga i möjligaste mån fylla i journalen. Primärvårdens jour har under åren för studiens genomförande varit belägen på akutmottagningen under kvällar, nätter och helger vilket inneburit att de få skadefall som konsekvent missats har varit lättare skador som behandlats dagtid på vårdcentralerna i upptagningsområdet. Långtidsuppföljning (Studie II, III och V) En uppföljande enkätundersökning bestående av ett antal validerade frågeformulär skickades till alla skall- och whiplashskadade patienter i arbetsför ålder tre respektive fem år efter skadehändelsen. De frågeformulär som analyserades var: För symptom: Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ) För funktionsnedsättning: Rivermead Head Injury Follow Up Questionnaire (RHFUQ) För livstillfredsställelse: Life Satisfaction-11 (LiSat-11) För smärta (hos de whiplashskadade): Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Resultaten från RPQ och LiSat-11 jämfördes med sedan tidigare tillgängligt material från åldersmatchade referenspopulationer. När det gäller de whiplashskadade genomfördes en femårsuppföljning avseende sjukskrivning. Data från Försäkringskassan analyserades och samhällskostnaden för produktionsbortfall beräknades baserat på den genomsnittliga kostnaden för en årsarbetare. Resultat Förekomsten av skallskador vid NUS under 2001 var 354 skadade per 100 000 invånare. Medelåldern på de skadade var 23 år och 55% var män. Andelen lätta skallskador var 97%. Fallolyckor orsakade flest skador (55%) och trafikolyckor var näst vanligast (30%). Minst 17% av patienterna (ofta medelålders personer) var alkoholpåverkade. Hos 8% av patienterna (17% av personer över 65 år) upptäcktes blödningar i hjärnan. I uppföljningen efter tre år noterades att de skallskadade patienterna i arbetsför ålder hade högre symptomfrekvens och lägre livstillfredsställelse än referenspopulationerna. Kvinnorna rapporterade högre förekomst av symptom och funktionsnedsättning än männen. Funktionsnedsättning av varierande grad samt så kallat postkommotionellt syndrom (med förekomst av minst tre specificerade symptom) fanns hos ca 50% av kvinnorna och hos ca 30% av männen. Medelförekomsten av whiplashskador till följd av trafikolyckor var under 2000-2009 235 fall per 100 000 invånare och år. Sammantaget var förekomsten relativt stabil under perioden; en ökning med 1% per år noterades. När siffrorna matchades mot data från Försäkringsförbundet noterades en minskning av andelen försäkringsärenden under perioden. 2001 års incidens av akuta whiplashskador efter alla typer av skadehändelser var 383 skadade per 100 000 invånare. Könsfördelningen var 56% män / 44% kvinnor och medelåldern var 32 år. Trafikolyckor orsakade 61% av whiplashskadorna medan fallolyckor stod för 14%. Frakturer i nacken var ovanliga och hittades hos 3% av patienterna. I femårsuppföljningen av whiplashpatienter i arbetsför ålder noterades att de hade högre frekvens (ca 50%) av symptom samt lägre livstillfredsställelse än referenspopulationerna. Funktionsnedsättning av varierande grad fanns hos ca 50% av patienterna. Kvinnorna skattade sin smärta högre än männen men i övrigt fanns ingen könsskillnad beträffande förekomsten av symptom, funktionsnedsättning och livstillfredsställelse. Vid jämförelse mellan whiplashskadade och skallskadade noterades att förekomsten av symptom med några få undantag inte skilde sig åt mellan grupperna. Fjorton procent av de whiplashskadade blev sjukskrivna i mer än 14 dagar. Sjukskrivningens medianlängd var 298 dagar och i 3% av fallen fortskred sjukskrivningen under hela 5-årsperioden. Trafikskadade sjukskrevs oftare än fallskadade och noterbart är också att nackfrakturer ej resulterade i längre sjukskrivningar än mjukdelsskador. Samhällskostnaden för produktionsbortfall var i snitt ca 600 000 kr per sjukskrivning. Konklusion Avhandlingen bidrar med nya grunddata som ytterligare förstärker bilden av att skallskador och whiplashskador är vanliga och att det framförallt är unga personer som drabbas. Grad och typ av kvarstående besvär är likartade efter båda skadetyper. Samhällskostnaden för skadorna är hög och lämpliga områden för skadepreventivt arbete tycks vara fallskadeprevention, trafikskadeprevention, skadeprevention inom hästsport, fotboll och ishockey samt prevention av alkoholrelaterade skador. Både fysiska, psykologiska och sociala faktorer inverkar på läkningsförloppet och symptombilden efter skadorna och det är viktigt att utvärdera och behandla patienterna med utgångspunkt från detta.

The WISE Index allows one to predict the potential for a whiplash injury, as well as the intensity of the injury, based solely on collision acceleration, height, weight, and sex of the occupant.

Full textWhiplash remains a strong socio-economic issue in road accidents. Research in this field has led to the development of injury criteriathat are still difficult to validate for all situations. The hypotheses of this project are that head stabilization strategies are influenced by activities prior to thedynamic event as well as by certain cognitive availabilities. To answer this, this thesis experimented different dynamic environments and explored the use of virtual reality as a simulation tool for the study of the subject's dynamic behaviorand evaluated the relevance of these tools.A first experimentation allowed to show the importance of the alert in the subject by using an automatic emergency braking system of an equipped vehicle. A second study consisting in the replication of this experiment in a hexapod driving simulator was able to show that the subject's behaviorwas comparable despite the lower dynamic performance of the system. Finally, a last study carried out on accelerated subjects on a laboratory-controlled cart, whose emotional state was controlled, was able to account for the importance of the integration of physiological parameters in the study of head stabilization strategies in the subject.Immersive simulations proved to be relevant to control the subject's cognitive environment and the importance of the latter could be observed. The use of these technologies allows us to glimpse new experimental possibilities that can lead to a better understanding of the subject's stabilization strategies

Em Natal dos anos 80, uma cena musical foi sendo montada a partir da inser??o do jovem nos espa?os da cidade, como pra?as, lojas de discos, shows, parques e etc. Contudo, este cen?rio ligado ? m?sica passou por um processo de transforma??o. A cena musical, mundialmente falando, a partir das d?cadas de 50 e 60, teve como um dos atores o jovem que foi mudando seu estilo, corpo de acordo com a moda influenciada pelos artistas nos filmes, nas revistas e nos programas de televis?o. Nesse sentido, este trabalho refere-se ao cen?rio em que Natal, no Rio Grande do Norte, foi influenciado atrav?s do rock, heavy metal e punk, construindo cenas que, de alguma maneira, uniram-se para a produ??o da m?sica. A juventude natalense, de alguma forma, teve a oportunidade de experienciar, nas d?cadas de 80 e 90, a m?sica pesada e criar para si espa?os de sociabilidade. A partir de um cen?rio pol?tico e econ?mico desfavor?vel ao crescimento, a cena heavy metal teve como ponto de encontro a loja de discos Whiplash onde jovens se aglomeravam para criar v?nculos e principalmente ouvir discos que eram tocados de dentro da loja. A partir dessa uni?o, formaram-se bandas e, com isso, puderam tocar em festivais e eventos na cidade com outros grupos de rock e punk. As informa??es que inicialmente circulam dentro das cenas chegavam por meio de fanzines. O fanzine foi o meio pelo qual se criou uma rede de amizades se espalhando pelo Brasil, em que a troca de informa??o e tamb?m de material fonogr?fico ajudava a minimizar o problema da crise financeira, al?m do fato de muitos destes jovens n?o terem trabalho para comprar seus bens de consumo. Estes fanzines funcionaram tamb?m para criar uma imprensa independente onde as bandas locais e eventos eram apresentados.
In Natal of the 80s, a musical scene was being created from the insertion of the young person in the spaces of the city like squares, disc stores, concerts, parks and etc. However, this music-related scenario underwent a process of transformation. The musical scene, worldwide speaking, from the 50s and 60s had as one of the actors the young man who was changing his style, body according to the fashion influenced by the artists in the movies, magazines, and television programs. In this sense, this work refers to the scenario in which Natal in Rio Grande do Norte was influenced through rock, heavy metal and punk, constructing scenes that somehow joined for the production of music. The natal youth somehow had the opportunity to experience heavy music in the 80's and 90's and create spaces for sociability. From a political and economic scenario unfavorable to growth, the heavy metal scene had as a meeting point the Whiplash record store where young people crowded together to create bonds and especially to listen to records that were played from inside the store. From this union, bands were formed and with that they could play in festivals and events in the city with other groups of rock and punk. The information that initially circulated within the scenes came through fanzines. The fanzine was the means by which a network of friendships was created spreading through Brazil where the exchange of information and also of phonographic material helped to minimize the problem of the financial crisis and the fact that many of these young people did not have work to buy their goods of consumption. These fanzines also worked to create an independent press where the local bands and events were presented.

Full textWAD betyder whiplash associated disorder och har sin grund i en whiplashskada, som är en svårdiagnostiserad skada på nackpartiet.Whiplashskador har i västvärlden blivit en av de vanligaste skadornatill följd av trafikolyckor. De vanligaste symptomen är smärta i huvudoch nacke samt domningar och stickningar i olika kroppsdelar. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka huruvida det finns någon skillnad i kognitiva funktioner mellan personer med WAD och personer utan denna skada (n = 20). Detta undersöktes med hjälp av en enkät och ett kognitivt testbatteri. Resultaten tyder på en signifikant gruppeffekt för sekundärminne vid omedelbar fri återgivning, F(1, 19) =4.48, p<.05.De övriga resultaten var inte statistiskt säkerställda men visade klara tendenser till att kontrollgruppen presterade bättre på samtliga kognitiva test.
