This document is a clinical commentary on sensorimotor function and dizziness in individuals experiencing neck pain, particularly those with whiplash-associated disorders. It explores the intricate connections between the cervical spine and the vestibular and visual systems, highlighting how disturbances in cervical afferent input can lead to symptoms like dizziness, unsteadiness, and visual impairments. The text discusses various assessment methods for these sensorimotor deficits, including evaluating head-neck awareness, movement control, postural stability, and oculomotor function. Finally, it proposes a multimodal physical therapy approach for management, emphasizing the integration of manual therapy, exercises, and tailored sensorimotor control programs to address both primary causes and secondary adaptive changes.
