TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Jaw-neck dysfunction in whiplash-associated disorders JO - Archives of oral biology A1 - Eriksson, Per-Olof A1 - Häggman-Henrikson, Birgitta A1 - Zafar, Hamayun SP - 404 EP - 408 VL - 52 IS - 4 N2 - This paper reports data from recent studies on integrative jaw-neck motor control in healthy subjects and disturbed jaw-neck behaviour in whiplash-associated disorders (WAD). The results show that neck function is an integral part of natural jaw behaviour, and that neck injury can impair jaw function and therefore disturb eating behaviour. We also show preliminary results from implementation of a new approach for rehabilitation of jaw-neck dysfunction and pain in WAD.
