Purpose Non-neutral neck positions are important initial conditions in impact scenarios,
associated with a higher incidence of injury. Repositioning in finite element (FE) neck …

Computational human body models (HBM) present a novel approach to predict brain
response in football impact scenarios, with prescribed kinematic boundary conditions for the …

Tissue-level brain responses to sport-related head impacts may be stronger predictors of
brain injury risk than head kinematics alone. Despite the importance of accurate impact …

Despite advances in the understanding of human tolerances to brain injury, injury metrics
used in automotive safety and protective equipment standards have changed little since they …

Football helmets are expected to break down with use, and reconditioning
recommendations are required to be stated by manufacturers. However, the degree of …

The helmet plays an important role in protection of pilot's head and enhances the pilot's
capabilities and performance significantly with the use of mounted devices such as the Night …

Headgear including helmets are essential and law-enforced in many countries. However,
one of the most main reasons drivers give for not wearing helmets is the discomfort and …

Das primäre passive Schutzsystem für die Sicherheit von Motorradfahrern, das die
Verletzungen bei einem Unfallgeschehen mindern oder verhindern kann, stellt die …

Detailed anthropometric characterization of complex shapes of human heads can ensure
optimal fit, comfort, and effectiveness of head-mounted devices. However, there is a lack of a …

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the role of neck muscle activity and neck damping
characteristics in traumatic brain injury (TBI) mechanisms. Methods We used a previously …
