The development of chronicity following whiplash injury: the fear-avoidance model versus a neurobiological stress model.

车祸后的鞭伤对个人和社会造成了相当大的负担。这项研究旨在加深我们对为什么有些人在事故发生几个月后恢复得很快，而另一些人却有持续的问题的理解。通过在事故发生后不久以及3个月、6个月和12个月后收集身体和心理数据，我们将能够描述表现良好的人和出现慢性症状的人之间的差异。

Whiplash injuries following car accidents are responsible for a considerable burden on individuals and the community. This study is designed to develop our understanding as to why some people recover quickly and others have ongoing problems months after the accident. By collecting physical and psychological data shortly after their accident and 3, 6 and 12 months later, we will be able to describe the differences between people who do well and those that develop chronic symptoms.
