Question: We all know that a baby or child can be severely injured by being shaken, but can serious permanent injury also occur in an adult that is severely shaken (i.e. shaken by someone in a fit of rage)? If the adult is in poor health already, does that increase the damage or likelihood of incurring damage?

Thanks for your help.

Answers: Not as much as in a child but certainly.... As the head is bounced around the brain can be bruised by bumping against skull. Neck can be injured for instance as in WHIP-LASH or even worse cracked or broken depends on age and fragility of the person...
