Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver
Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver

I taught that performing O’Donoghue’s maneuver enabled the providers to differentiate cervical strain from sprain. To my surprise, one of the attendees stated that it is not possible to diagnose a cervical strain and sprain with a whiplashed patient using O’Donoghue’s maneuver.
