Resumen
GARAMENDI, P.M. y LANDA, M.I.. Epidemiology and forensic problems of the whiplash syndrome in Spain. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2003, n.32, pp.5-18. ISSN 1988-611X.
We present a review of the current literature on the whiplash syndrome focusing on its epidemiological profiles. The review points out the variety and diversity of conclusions in the studies published on the acute whiplash syndrome (less than 6 months of clinical evolution) and the chronic syndrome (symptomatic persistence after 6 months). Finally, we enumerate some of the problems the syndrome generates in forensic practise in Spain.
