Abstract
LAMAS-SANCHEZ, Hugo; JUSTO-COUSINO, Lorenzo A; ALONSO-CALVETE, Alejandra and GONZALEZ-GONZALEZ, Yoana. Alterations of sensitivity to contrast and stereopsis in workers exposed to aromatic hydrocarbons. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.4, pp.520-536. Epub Mar 14, 2022.

Objective:
The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the effects of therapeutic exercise on whiplash.
Material and Methods:
A systematic review of the literature was carried out, following the PRISMA guidelines, in March 2021 and in the databases PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Cinhal and Web of Science.
Results:
A total of 11 randomized controlled trials were obtained, with a methodological quality greater than or equal to 6 on the PEDro scale. The exercise programs used were based on specific neck exercises alone or in combination with comprehensive programs, education and counselling.
Conclusions:
Neck-specific exercises may benefit patients with chronic whiplash. Adding education and behavioral approaches to therapies does not appear to have additional benefit, and global exercise prescription does not appear to have significant benefits.
