      abstract = {Cervical soft-tissue trauma commonly results in symptoms that recur or persist after the initial event. A reproducible subset of patients with whiplash-associated disorders develops chronic symptoms despite early conservative care. Objective evidence from clinical assessment, standard MRI, cohort imaging studies, and selected adjunctive tests supports peripheral soft-tissue micro-failure, altered segmental mechanics, and secondary neuroplastic changes as plausible drivers of recurrence. These findings can be framed in a routine medico-legal opinion.},
