Consecutive road traffic accidents attenders with multiple or 'whiplash' neck injuries were assessed following the accident, at 3 months and 1 year. Considerable changes in vehicle-driving behaviour and in attitudes to travel were reported. Concern about travel as a driver and as a passenger was usual. A sizeable proportion of subjects suffered severe and persistent anxiety associated with limitations of everyday life. The findings have implications for clinical assessment and treatment, road safety, and medical reports in compensation proceedings.
对连续发生的道路交通事故中颈部多处受伤或“挥鞭样”损伤的伤者，在事故发生后、3个月时和1年时进行了评估。报告显示，他们在车辆驾驶行为和出行态度方面发生了显著变化。对作为司机和乘客出行感到担忧是很常见的。相当一部分受试者因日常生活受限而遭受严重且持续的焦虑。这些发现对临床评估与治疗、道路安全以及赔偿程序中的医学报告均有启示意义。
