Classification of neck movement patterns related to whiplash-associated disorders using neural networks.

This paper presents a new method for classification of neck movement patterns related to whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) using a resilient backpropagation neural network (BPNN). WAD are a common diagnosis after neck trauma, typically caused by rear-end car accidents. Since physical injuries seld...
