Thoracic dysfunction in whiplash-associated disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol

Discussion This is the first study to bring together evidence of thoracic dysfunction post whiplash and provide new insights into the scope and nature of thoracic dysfunction in WAD. With current management options being largely focused to a primary neck complaint and many patients going to become chronic in their presentations, this review may stimulate research and clinical interest in a largely under investigated, yet anatomically and kinematically related, spinal region. Systematic review registration PROSPERO CRD42015026983.
