What are the 4 phases of whiplash?
The phrase 'four phases of whiplash' describes a biomechanical model of how the head, neck, and torso may move during part of a rear-end collision. It is not a clinical staging system and it does not diagnose the person in the vehicle. Crash mechanics can provide context, but symptoms, examination findings, and appropriate testing are what determine the medical picture.
