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 …

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

During normal participation in football, players are exposed to repetitive subconcussive
head impacts, or impacts that do not result in signs and symptoms of concussion. To better …

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 …

Recorded head kinematics from head-impact measurement devices (HIMd) are pivotal for
evaluating brain stress and strain through head finite element models (hFEM). The variability …

Investigating head responses during hockey-related blunt impacts and hence understanding
how to mitigate brain injury risk from such impacts still needs more exploration. This study …

A number of human head finite element (FE) models have been developed from different
research groups over the years to study the mechanisms of traumatic brain injury. These …

Kinematic measurements of head impacts are sensitive to sports concussion, but not highly
specific. One potential reason is these measures reflect input conditions only and may have …

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 …

The purpose of this study was to quantify the severity of head impacts sustained by
individual collegiate football players and to investigate differences between impacts …
