Summary

This study tests whether a six-week telerehabilitation program using a device called Spinetrack can reduce pain and disability in people with whiplash injuries. 102 adults with subacute whiplash (grades I-II) will be split into three groups: one using Spinetrack, one doing standard neck exercises remotely, and one receiving usual care. The goal is to see if deep neck muscle training via video calls is effective and practical.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
telerehabilitation programme with specific neck exercises (using Spinetrack device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a convenient, at-home exercise program to reduce neck pain and disability after whiplash injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (102 people) testing a device in a specific group. Results may not apply to all whiplash patients, and the benefit over standard care is unproven.
