Summary

Cervical sprain also known as whiplash-associated disorder is the result of a combined injury between extension/flexion of the soft tissues of the cervical spine due to an acceleration-deceleration mechanism of energy transfer to the neck. The Neck-Specific Exercise Program focuses on relearning motor skills, neck muscle endurance, and postural correction. Telehealth improves patient satisfaction, overcomes barriers to access to physiotherapy services and reduces the costs of musculoskeletal care.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the neck specific exercise program by telerehabilitation compared to the usual intervention in functional recovery in adults with acute cervical sprain grade I and II at the first level of care.

Material and Methods: This is a randomized clinical trial, the effectiveness of the telerehabilitation program is determined by the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and will be compared against the usual intervention. Participants assigned to the telerehabilitation program will complete a 12-week intervention consisting of 5 weekly sessions of 30 minutes of pre-recorded video, with a frequency of 2-3 times a day. The usual care group will be instructed to follow their doctors' orders during the 12-week intervention period. For each group, baseline measurements were made at 2, 6 and 12 weeks.

Time to develop: The protocol has a duration of follow-up of the patients of 12 weeks.
