Gunnel Peterson is an affiliated researcher whose work aims to contribute to the development of diagnostic methods and evidence-based exercise interventions for chronic whiplash. Her research focuses on improving knowledge related to neck muscle function and the structure of neck pain. Neck pain and disability are common outcomes of whiplash injuries, with approximately 50% of individuals reporting persistent symptoms, referred to as whiplash-associated disorders (WAD). Despite decades of research, the causes of persistent pain and disability remain largely unknown, and effective treatment options and diagnostic tools are lacking. Peterson's work involves the exploration of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular function, as well as biopsychosocial factors associated with neck pain.
