The effect of three exercise approaches on health-related quality of life and factors associated with its improvement in chronic whiplash-associated disorders: analysis of a randomized controlled trial

摘要

PurposeThe aim was to evaluate whether neck-specific exercise, with (NSEB) or without (NSE) a behavioural approach, improves health-related quality of life (HRQoL) compared to physical activity prescription (PPA) in chronic whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) grades 2 and 3. A secondary aim was to identify factors associated with HRQoL and HRQoL improvement following exercise interventions.
