Summary:Clinical and electromyographic evaluations were carried out in 44 patients with whiplash injuries. The psychoneurotic complaints persisted on the majority of the patients. Electromyographic examinations revealed the appearances of complex motor unit and fibrillation wave forms in the muscles supplied by the cervical plexus and the brachial plexus in some cases. Then the recovery curves of monosynaptic reflex were determined on the tibial nerve. It was proved that the excitability of motornerves increased in the patients suffering from whiplash injuries.
