The MCU's clinical successes can be attributed to the testing and treatment protocol, known as The Melbourne Protocol, developed by Robert De Nardis, an innovative Australian physiotherapist. De Nardis, director of the Melbourne Whiplash Centre in Melbourne, Australia, has been working with the MCU for more than seven years and has evaluated and treated approximately 700 patients using the system. Analysis of published data indicates that best results for chronic neck patients are achieved via the functional neck-strengthening program provided by the MCU. An independent study completed in 2005 at LaTrobe University demonstrated that the clinical outcomes observed using the MCU in combination with The Melbourne Protocol for the treatment of Whiplash Associated Disorders are superior to those achieved with traditional treatment methods.
