Quantification of subconcussive impact forces to the head using a forensic model.
Concussive and subconcussive head injury is a global phenomenon that affects millions of people each year. Concussive injury has been extensively studied in sport, which has led to a greater understanding of the biomechanical forces involved and guidelines aimed at preventing athletes from playing while concussed. Subconcussive forces by definition do not meet the threshold for concussion but n...

متن کاملCorrelation of Head Impacts to Change in Balance Error Scoring System Scores in Division I Men’s Lacrosse Players
BACKGROUND Investigation into the effect of cumulative subconcussive head impacts has yielded various results in the literature, with many supporting a link to neurological deficits. Little research has been conducted on men's lacrosse and associated balance deficits from head impacts. HYPOTHESES (1) Athletes will commit more errors on the postseason Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) test. ...
متن کاملChronic effects of mild neurotrauma: putting the cart before the horse?
Accumulation of phosphorylated tau (p-tau) is accepted by many as a long-term consequence of repetitive mild neurotrauma based largely on brain findings in boxers (dementia pugilistica) and, more recently, former professional athletes, military service members, and others exposed to repetitive head trauma. The pathogenic construct is also largely accepted and suggests that repetitive head traum...
متن کاملNeuroimaging assessment of early and late neurobiological sequelae of traumatic brain injury: implications for CTE
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been increasingly accepted as a major external risk factor for neurodegenerative morbidity and mortality. Recent evidence indicates that the resultant chronic neurobiological sequelae following head trauma may, at least in part, contribute to a pathologically distinct disease known as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). The clinical manifestation of CTE is v...
