DISABILITY AND REHABILITATION doi:/10.1080/09638288.2022.2098395 Most manual therapists will encounter patients who have had a whiplash injury in their clinical practice. This type of injury can present itself in myriad ways, which is why it is important for manual therapists to look beyond the standard presentations of this injury type. This study aimed to explore the role of whiplash in dysphagia, dysphonia, and laryngeal hypersensitivity. A qualitative interpretive descrip- tion design was used to study 11 participants with chronic whiplash- associated disorders and self- reported swallowing, voice, and/ or throat-related problems. They completed a baseline symptom questionnaire and were invited to participate in a videofluoroscopic swallow study to investigate baseline swallowing biomechanics. Further, the patients gave semi-structured interviews to explore features of swallowing and voice/laryngeal sensory complaints; their responses were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study identified the following in patients with whiplash-associated disorder: • High baseline levels of self- reported neck pain, throat-related disability, and psychological stress • A range of features of dysphagia (i.e., swallowing difficulties) and dysphonia (i.e., vocal difficulties) • Changes in swallowing and participation in voice activities • Psychological and emotional impacts • Co-existing features of laryngeal hypersensitivity • Barriers to management As an integral part of rehabilitation for whiplash-associated disorders, RMTs should include questions about voice and swallowing symptoms in their assessments, assess and treat the musculature of the anterior neck (if comfortable and when applicable), and direct the patient to their primary care provider to request a referral to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist and speech language pathologist (SLP). As this is a vulnerable area for treatment, RMTs should focus on communicating with patients during the application of massage to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.
