Correlation between Exposure to Bomechanical Stress and Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD) by William HM Castro

“…From the work of Becke et al. (1999) and Becke and Castro (2000), we know that in side collisions with a Dv of just 3 km/h, head contact with the side window of the car is possible; it can be expected that in such cases the cervical spine will also be exposed to some biomechanical stress (notice however, that not every head contact is automatically equal to an injury of the cervical spine!). In conclusion, before using expressions like 'low velocity collisions', its definition with regard to Dv as well as the kind of collision, has to be discussed. …”
