title: Some aspects of acceleration extension syndromes.
abstract: Crowe (1928) first used the word whiplash to describe cervical strains which had been caused by extension type injuries due to sudden acceleration. They were found to heal very slowly and hence the word whiplash soon became synonymous with irreparable damage, continuous pain and residual disability.
