Abstract
Some authors have hypothesized a relationship between rear-impact motor veh icle collisions and subsequent symptoms of neck pain and temporomandibular disorders, or TMD, despite no facial impact. This article examines the TMD aspect in terms of the physiological basis and cultural factors influencing the reporting of such symptoms.
