Whiplash associated neck injury is a serious problem! 

It affects an estimated 60,000 people in BC alone, each year. Research shows a substantial number, up to 60 percent of those injured will still have problems 6 months after their injury. SFU's Motor Behaviour Lab conducted a study into the effects of motor-vehicle related neck injury.

Our goal was to improve assessment of whiplash injuries so that doctors and therapists could help people reduce pain and recover faster.

The participants were woman with a motor vehicle related whiplash injury and neck pain persisting for at least 6 months as well as healthy women. 

Thank you to the many women that have already participated or offered to participate! The study is now complete.
