Synopsis

Providing a balanced, evidence-based discussion of whiplash and its associated disorders, "Whiplash: A Patient Centered Approach to Management" compiles information from many sources into a single, definitive reference. It clearly delineates rationales and procedures, covering cervical spine anatomy, neurology, kinesiology, epidemiology, patient history and assessment, imaging, soft tissue injuries, articular lesions, rehabilitation, and prognosis. Using numerous full-color photos and illustrations, an expert author team led by Dr. Meridel Gatterman offers concrete guidelines for a patient-centered approach to care of whiplash and whiplash-related conditions - one that recommends minimally invasive procedures and therapies whenever possible. A companion Evolve website includes video clips showing stretching exercises, printable patient handouts, and narrated PowerPoint slides.

About this title

Review

While relatively brief, this is a fine book on the subject of whiplash. Its focus is primarily on the patient, and it does not diverge into discussions of biomechanics, mechanics, and other basic science papers on this subject.

I find Dr. Gatterman's book quite useful in the way it is laid out, and it contains a good amount of information in a compact format.
