Function in patients with cervical radiculopathy or chronic whiplash-associated disorders compared with healthy volunteers.
The purposes of this study were to examine whether any differences in function and health exist between patients with cervical radiculopathy (CR) due to disk disease scheduled for surgery and patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorders (WADs) and to compare measures of patients' physical function with those obtained from healthy volunteers. ⋯ Patients had worse values than healthy individuals in almost all physical measures. There was a trend toward worse results for CR than WAD patients.
