Abstract

An 10- depth study of neck injuries in rear end collisions was made in order to investigate the severity of the injuries and the injury mechanisms in correlation with occupant and vehicle parameters. No severe injuries according to the AIS classification were noted. However, various degrees of neck injury- related discomfort were noted in all but four cases. Prolonged discomfort, lasting more than 3 months, was noted for about 40 per cent of all the occupants who had neck symptoms after the accident.
