Customer Review: Great concept, but I got suckered
POSITIVES: Once we got the bike trailer hooked up, it works fine - it's nice not having to worry about where your child is on their own bike - they are attached to you, and cannot run out into traffic unless you do. You are able to take your kids with you, and save on gas. We ride everywhere we can. I have 6 children, and the youngest was the only one who couldn't go long distances before I got this bike. Now, she goes right along with us, pulls her own weight. She was too big for a trailer, but too small to ride on her own - this is the perfect medium. NEGATIVES: Keep in mind that when the child riding it moves side to side, you will weave back and forth. I can be riding in a straight line one minute, and the next, I almost hit a parked car because my daughter turned around to see the dog we just passed, and she leaned one way or the other... Usually it's just a slight weave from side to side though. If I am coasting, and my daughter pedals too fast, she can actually push me along...not a bad thing unless you have another bicycle right in front of you, and you aren't expecting the sudden push. Once you get used to the weaving, it's OK, it just takes some getting used to. REAL BAD NEGATIVES: Amazon sent me a sub-standard product. What I received was missing pedals. I was anxious to use the co-pilot, and didn't want to wait yet again for a shipment to replace the entire product so I would have pedals, so after some frustrations with customer service, I finally was offered a credit so I could go buy pedals. Little did I know at the time that the seat adjustment screw was also missing, which didn't end up mattering because the seat had to be pounded into place with a hammer, which messed up the bar so the seat didn't fit right. So, I had to pound that back out so I could get the seat on. Now, the seat will not adjust up or down. Then, when I went to attach it to my bike, I discovered one of the nuts that is finger tightened was chewed up, and had sharp edges. I bet it was shipped out before, and someone else used it. So I am stuck with a piece of junk looking co-pilot that has pedals that don't match, the seat won't adjust, and I have to be careful not to cut myself when I disconnect it off my bike. I would suggest buying this product somewhere else, other than through Amazon.

Those involved in the study had to come to the conclusion that regardless of the severity of the symptoms, the attitude of the patient is crucial to recovery.

The authors of this study say that this is only the beginning and are pushing for more studies into whiplash associated disorders so that sufferers will benefit and less long term debilitating discomfort will be seen.

This is a point which the study strongly agrees with as a result of its findings. If patients can be given a clearer diagnosis and recovery time, putting their mind at rest, then recovery can be helped along.

The study was carried out in Stockholm at the Karolinska Institute, led by Lena Holm. A questionnaire based study was carried out among 1000 adult claimants from two insurance companies in Sweden.

Each participant in the study was quizzed with a detailed set of questions about the nature of their accident, demographic profile, health history, pain and symptoms since the crash.

A new study into the effects of whiplash has found that the patient's attitude has a great impact on the speed of recovery.

Six months after the initial questionnaire the patients were re-examined and their symptoms discussed. A clear pattern quickly emerged, showing that those who had previously stated that they felt they were not likely to make a full recovery were much more likely to be suffering from a high degree of disability six months later.

The study took pains to take into account the severity of the initial symptoms and each persons psychological suffering. Even with these taken into account the association between positive outlook and speedy recovery remained.

The study suggests that their findings may help to explain why those initially experiencing only mild pain can often go on to develop more serious and often long term symptoms.

It is hoped that these findings and further studies will go some way to relieve the burden of whiplash injuries on employers, insurance companies and the victims themselves.

The authors of the study state that "early assessment of expectations of recovery" should always be made to the patient as it can help predict progress and assist a speedier recovery.

Detailed notes were made on the severity of each individuals suffering and disability caused as a result of their whiplash-associated disorders. This term refers to a range of symptoms related to whiplash, including back, neck and shoulder pain, blurred vision, headache, ringing in the ears, nausea, anxiety and depression.

Medical experts have a great deal of trouble diagnosing and treating whiplash due to the ambiguity of the symptoms. However, many have been suggesting for a long time that early treatment and attention is vital.

Those who stated that they expected to make a full recovery fared much better when re-examined six months on.

They were then asked, in another section of the questionnaire, how likely they felt that they were to recover fully from their injuries. Only one quarter of those questioned believed that they would recover from their injuries.
