Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the change of the cervical spine curvature after whiplash injury. Methods: Clinical study carried out in 46 patients who already had neck pain and took a cervical lateral X-Ray in Jaseng Oriental hospital. these patients had whiplash injury whitin one year. We followed up the cervical lateral X-Ray after that. Cervical spine curvature was measured using four measuring method. Type of cervical spine curvature was analyzed by Jochumsen method, Ishihara Index. T-test was used. Results: By Jackson's Angle and Cobb's angle, it is tend to be more Iordotic curvature after whiplash injury. In Jochumsen method, Ishihara Index the cervical spine curvature was significantly increased their Iordotic angle(P<0.05). Conclusion: The results suggest that after whiplash injury, patients cervical curvature change more Iordortic curve.
