    • Objective: To investigate the factors related to self-perceived work ability in patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorder grades II-III.Design: Cross-sectional analysis.Patients: A total of 166 working age patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorder.Methods: A comprehensive survey collected data on work ability (using the Work Ability Index); demographic, psychosocial, personal, work- and condition-related factors. Forward, stepwise regression modelling was used to assess the factors related to work ability.Results: The proportion of patients in each work ability category were as follows: poor (12.7%); moderate (39.8%); good (38.5%); excellent (9%). Seven factors explained 65% (adjusted R-2 = 0.65, p < 0.01) of the variance in work ability. In descending order of strength of association, these factors are: greater neck disability due to pain; reduced self-rated health status and health-related quality of life; increased frequency of concentration problems; poor workplace satisfaction; lower self-efficacy for performing daily tasks; and greater work-related stress.Conclusion: Condition-specific and psychosocial factors are associated with self-perceived work ability of individuals with chronic whiplash-associated disorder.

  • Novel Internet Support for Neck-Specific Rehabilitation Improves Work-Related Outcomes to the Same Extent as Extensive Visits to a Physiotherapy Clinic in Individuals with Chronic Whiplash-Associated Disorders : A Prospective Randomised Study
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Journal of occupational rehabilitation. - : Springer. - 1053-0487 .- 1573-3688.
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • PURPOSE: To address the current lack of information about work-related factors for individuals with whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) we investigated the effectiveness of 3 months of neck-specific rehabilitation with internet support in combination with four physiotherapy visits (NSEIT) compared to the same exercises performed twice a week (24 times) at a physiotherapy clinic (NSE).METHODS: This is a prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled trial regarding secondary outcomes of work-related factors in 140 individuals with chronic moderate/severe WAD with 3- and 15-month follow-up.RESULTS: There were no group differences between NSE and NSEIT in the Work Ability Scale or work subscales of the Neck Disability Index, Whiplash Disability Questionnaire or Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ-work). Both groups improved in all work-related outcome measures, except for FABQ-work after the 3-month intervention and results were maintained at the 15-month follow-up.CONCLUSIONS: Despite fewer physiotherapy visits for the NSEIT group, there were no group differences between NSEIT and NSE, with improvements in most work-related measures maintained at the 15-month follow-up. The results of the present study are promising for those with remaining work ability problems after a whiplash injury. Protocol registered before data collection started: clinicaltrials.gov NCT03022812.

  • Return to work a bumpy road : a qualitative study on experiences of work ability and work situation in individuals with chronic whiplash-associated disorders
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: BMC Public Health. - : BioMed Central. - 1471-2458. ; 21:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: Work resumption is a big challenge in the rehabilitation process for individuals with whiplash-associated disorders (WAD). To better meet the needs of individuals with WAD in their return to work process, more knowledge on their experiences and perspectives is needed. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of work ability and the work situation of individuals who participated in a neck-specific exercise programme for chronic WAD.METHODS: This qualitative study has an exploratory and descriptive design based on data collected through open-ended interviews with 17 individuals with chronic WAD. Data were analysed inductively using conventional content analysis.RESULTS: Analysis of the data yielded the following five categories related to the participants' narratives on their experiences of work ability and their work situation: Return to work - a process of setbacks and bureaucracy; The need to be understood by health care professionals, and to receive a treatment plan; Individual resources are important for work ability; The consequences of reduced work ability; and Working conditions are important for work ability.CONCLUSION: Individuals with chronic WAD often struggle to return to work. Emotional and practical support from stakeholders is imperative and needs to be strengthened. Participating in a neck-specific exercise programme, including being acknowledged and receiving information about WAD, could positively affect the work ability of WAD sufferers. This study has provided management strategies to improve the ability to work for individuals with chronic WAD, and highlights the need to incorporate a healthy and sustainable return to work in the rehabilitation of individuals with WAD, thereby making their return to work a success.

  • Effect of neck-specific exercises with and without internet support on cervical range of motion and neck muscle endurance in chronic whiplash-associated disorders : analysis of functional outcomes of a randomized controlled trial
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine. - : Medical Journals Sweden. - 1650-1977 .- 1651-2081. ; 56
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of a neck-specific exercise programme with internet support and 4 physiotherapist sessions (NSEIT) and the same neck-specific exercises supervised by a physiotherapist (NSE) on neck muscle endurance and cervical range of motion.DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial.PATIENTS: A total of 140 participants with chronic whiplash-associated disorders grade II or grade III were randomly assigned to the NSEIT or NSE groups.METHODS: Outcomes were changes in active cervical range of motion, cranio-cervical flexion test, neck muscle endurance, and neck pain, at 3- and 15-month follow-ups.RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the NSEIT and NSE groups. There was a significant group-by-time inter-action effect in active cervical range of motion flexion/extension where the NSEIT group improved to 3-month follow-up, but the NSE group did not. Both groups were significantly improved over time in all other outcomes (p < 0.001) at 3- and 15-month follow-ups, with effect size between 0.64 and 1.35 in active cervical range of motion, cranio-cervical flexion test, dorsal neck muscle endurance, and neck pain, and effect size between 0.22 and 0.42 in ventral neck muscle endurance.CONCLUSION: Both NSE and NSEIT led to improved neck function. Depending on the patients' needs, either NSE or NSEIT could be used as treatment for patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorders.

  • Evaluation of implementation and effectiveness of neck-specific exercise for persistent disability and pain after whiplash injury : study protocol for a randomized controlled study using a hybrid 2 design
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders. - London, United Kingdom : BioMed Central (BMC). - 1471-2474. ; 23:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: Persistent pain and disability in whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) grades II and III are common. In two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of neck-specific exercises (NSE), we have seen promising results in chronic WAD, with a sustained clinically important reduction in pain and disability. NSE can also be delivered through internet support (NSEIT) and a few visits to a physiotherapist, saving time and cost for both patients and providers. NSE have been shown to have positive effects in other neck pain disorders and we will evaluate the diffusion of the exercises to other patients. The aims of the proposed study are to evaluate an implementation strategy for NSEIT and NSE in primary health care and to evaluate the effectiveness of NSEIT and NSE in clinical practice.METHODS: The proposed study is a prospective cluster-randomized mixed-design study with hybrid 2 trial design. Reg. physiotherapists working in twenty physiotherapy clinics will be included. The primary implementation outcome is proportion of patients with neck pain receiving neck-specific exercise. Secondary outcomes are; physiotherapists attitudes to implementation of evidence-based practice, their self-efficacy and confidence in performing NSEIT/NSE, number of patients visits, and use of additional or other exercises or treatment. To further evaluate the implementation strategy, two qualitative studies will be performed with a sample of the physiotherapists. The primary outcome in the patient effectiveness evaluation is self-reported neck disability according to the Neck Disability Index (NDI). Secondary outcomes are pain intensity in the neck, arm, and head; dizziness; work- and health-related issues; and patient's improvement or deterioration over time. All measurements will be conducted at baseline and at 3 and 12 months. Physiotherapists´ self-efficacy and confidence in diagnosing and treating patients with neck pain will also be evaluated directly after their instruction in NSEIT/NSE.DISCUSSION: This trial will evaluate the implementation strategy in terms of adoption of and adherence to NSEIT and NSE in clinical primary health care, and measure diffusion of the method to other patients. In parallel, the effectiveness of the method will be evaluated. The results may guide physiotherapists and health care providers to sustainable and effective implementation of effective exercise programs.TRIAL REGISTRATION: The randomized trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT05198258 , initial release date January 20, 2022.
