Use of Muscle Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Compare Cervical Flexor Activity Between Patients With Whiplash-Associated Disorders and People Who Are Healthy

Abstract

Muscle functional magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a difference in muscle recruitment between the Lco, Lca, and SCM during CCF in the control group, but failed to demonstrate a changed activity pattern in the WAD group compared with the control group. The mild symptoms in the WAD group and the wide variability in T2 values may explain the lack of significance.
