Is there a relationship between whiplash-associated disorders and concussion in hockey? A preliminary study
Primary objective : To examine the relationship between the occurrence of  whiplash-associated disorders and concussion symptoms in hockey players . Research design : Prospect i ve cohort observational study to examine the relationship between whiplash associated disorders and concussion in actual hockey play .

Conclusions : There is a strong association between whiplash induced neck injuries and the symptoms of concussion in hockey injuries .
