Biomechanics of concussion.
The rising awareness of the long-term health problems associated with concussions re-emphasizes the need for understanding the mechanical etiology of concussions. This article reviews past studies defining the common mechanisms for mild traumatic brain injury and summarizes efforts to convert the external input to the head (force, acceleration, and velocity) into estimates of motions and deform...
متن کاملPost-concussion cognitive declines and symptomatology are not related to concussion biomechanics in high school football players.
Concussion is a major public health concern with nearly 4 million injuries occurring each year in the United States. In the acute post-injury stage, concussed individuals demonstrate cognitive function and motor control declines as well as reporting increased symptoms. Researchers have hypothesized that the severity of these impairments is related to impact magnitude. Using the Head Impact Tele...
متن کاملThe biomechanics of concussion in unhelmeted football players in Australia: a case–control study
OBJECTIVE Concussion is a prevalent brain injury in sport and the wider community. Despite this, little research has been conducted investigating the dynamics of impacts to the unprotected human head and injury causation in vivo, in particular the roles of linear and angular head acceleration. SETTING Professional contact football in Australia. PARTICIPANTS Adult male professional Australia...
متن کاملBiomechanics of head impacts associated with diagnosed concussion in female collegiate ice hockey players.
Epidemiological evidence suggests that female athletes may be at a greater risk of concussion than their male counterparts. The purpose of this study was to examine the biomechanics of head impacts associated with diagnosed concussions in a cohort of female collegiate ice hockey players. Instrumented helmets were worn by 58 female ice hockey players from 2 NCAA programs over a three year period...
متن کاملTHE BIOMECHANICS AND PATHOMECHANICS OF SPORT-RELATED CONCUSSION Looking at History to Build the Future
Sport-related concussion is still considered by many as a hidden epidemic in sports medicine. Despite the fact that this condition is not visible by neuroimaging, current research has allowed clinicians to better understand the condition. This chapter will discuss sport-related concussion in the context of the biomechanics and pathomechanics involved with injury. We will further explore how his...
