It is a question that boggles personal injury solicitors and medical experts alike - why, even with the introduction of modern head restraints, has the incident of road traffic accident whiplash continued to grow when the introduction of similar restraints in aircraft has been so effective in reducing the number of hyperflexion neck injuries among pilots?
What any investigation of the anomaly reveals is the complexity of the injury and its manifestation as a supra-mechanical condition. While a definitive treatment and diagnosis for the neck injury continues to elude scientists, most papers on the subject seem to agree that there are strong patient-specific factors affecting the likelihood of whiplash developing into an ongoing or chronic problem.
Among these factors are a patient's medical history, emotional influences and decision whether to pursue car accident compensation.
Another, more controversial, explanatory account is built on the phenomenon of "peer copying". One Canadian report, published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, speculates that the phenomenon has become prevalent among both patients and practitioners since the 1950s and helps account for the exponential growth in the number of reported injuries during that time.
It concludes that "peer copying has become costly indeed" and suggests that a simpler and more balanced approach to rehabilitation would benefit patients and insurers alike.
However, this paper represents only one of many specialist views on the subject and must be considered against the context of the wider science available.
