The effect of visual feedback of the neck during movement in patients with chronic whiplash: An experimental study
Background: Chronic whiplash associated disorder (WAD) is an important health issue with often poor outcomes in recovery. Unfortunately, underlying mechanisms of chronic WAD remain unclear. Sensorimotor incongruence (SMI), a mismatch between the efference copy in the brain and afferent sensory feedback from the body, is proposed as a possible underlying mechanism in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
