In contact sports such as rugby, players are at risk of sustaining traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
due to high-intensity head impacts that generate high linear and rotational accelerations of …

Athletes participating in contact sports are exposed to repetitive subconcussive head
impacts that may have long-term neurological consequences. To better understand these …

Head injury models are notoriously time consuming and resource demanding in simulations,
which prevents routine application. Here, we extend a convolutional neural network (CNN) …

Abstract Both linear (a _ lin)(a lin) and rotational (a _ rot)(a rot) accelerations contribute to
head impacts on the field in contact sports; however, they are often isolated in injury studies …

Falls and collisions are the most common types of events leading to sports-related
concussions where impacts to the head play an important role on the onset of traumatic …

Head impact exposure is often quantified using peak resultant kinematics. While kinematics
describes the inertial response of the brain to impact, they do not fully capture the dynamic …

Head acceleration measurement sensors are now widely deployed in the field to monitor
head kinematic exposure in contact sports. The wealth of impact kinematics data provides …

Objective: Impact kinematics are widely employed to investigate mechanisms of traumatic
brain injury (TBI). However, they are susceptible to noise and artefacts; thus, require data …

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 …

Sports related head injuries can cause transient neurological events including loss of
consciousness and dystonic posturing. However, it is unknown why head impacts that …
