Self-reports after whiplash often indicate associations with vertigo and reading problems. Neuropsychological and otoneurological tests were applied to a group of whiplash patients (n = 26) and to a carefully matched control group. The whiplash group deviated from the control group on measures of eye movements during reading, on smooth pursuit eye movements with the head in normal position, and with the body turned to the left or to the right. Clinical, caloric, and neurophysiological tests showed no injury to the vestibular system or to the CNS. Test results suggest that injuries to the neck due to whiplash can cause distortion of the posture control system as a result of disorganized neck proprioceptive activity.
挥鞭样损伤后的自我报告常表明与眩晕和阅读问题有关。对一组挥鞭样损伤患者（n = 26）和一组精心匹配的对照组进行了神经心理学和耳神经学测试。在阅读时的眼球运动测量、头部处于正常位置时的平稳跟踪眼球运动以及身体向左或向右转时的眼球运动方面，挥鞭样损伤组与对照组存在差异。临床、冷热试验和神经生理学测试未显示前庭系统或中枢神经系统有损伤。测试结果表明，挥鞭样损伤导致的颈部损伤可因颈部本体感觉活动紊乱而引起姿势控制系统的失调。
