The long-term course of deficient cervical kinaesthesia following a whiplash injury has a tendency to seek a physiological homeostasis. A prospective study

Untreated deficient cervical kinaesthesia has a tendency to seek a physiological homeostasis somewhere from 1 year to 6-8 years post-collision. We therefore recommend that cervical kinaesthesia be monitored and treated early, as deficient cervical kinaesthesia may lead to adaptive compensatory patterns secondary to the remaining functional kinaesthetic deficits.
