Abstract: Whiplash-associated disorders of the cervical vertebrae develop unevenly after the injury, and the recovery process is complicated and non-linear. It is important to identify factors related with poor recovery in the early stages, to select proper treatment and rehabilitation. However, there are too many prognostic factors related to the clinical outcome, while the Clinical Prediction Rules (CPR) are used to help decision-making. Now there are only Whiplash CPR, Assessment Tool for Whiplash Injuries Developed from A Prospective Observational Study and CPR-like Tool undergone the clinical trials.

Key words: cervical spine, whiplash-associated disorders, recovery, related factors, clinical prediction rule, review
