Inter- and Intra-Tester Reliability of Postural Stability Tests in Patients With Whiplash-Associated Disorder
The results of this study suggest that individual postural balance tests yield clinically reliable results for patients with WAD. However, caution is warranted when assessing the difference between balance test variations. It is not yet known whether these tests can distinguish between different study groups and whether they are reliable in assessing different sensory systems.
