Concussion tolerance and head impact exposure are highly variable among football
players. Recent findings highlight that head impact data analyses need to be performed at …

Sports-related concussion is the most common athletic head injury with football having the
highest rate. Traditionally, research on the biomechanics of football-related head impacts …

Previous attempts to develop engineering risk curves for mild traumatic brain injury have
been hampered by a paucity of data from living humans. A recent study by Pellman et …

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 …

Background: In the United States alone, millions of athletes participate in sports with
potential for head injury each year. Although poorly understood, possible long-term …

Concussion is a physiological injury to the extremely complex and dynamic human brain.
Individual variability adds to the challenge of concussion management, and sports medicine …

Concussion is a heterogeneous injury occurring throughout a range of impact magnitudes.
Consequently, research focusing on a single or set of variables at the time of injury to …

METHODS We monitored all football related head impacts in 78 high school athletes (mean
age 16.7 years) from 2005 through 2008 in order to better understand the biomechanical …

Impacts to the head are common in collision sports such as football. Emerging research has
begun to elucidate concussion tolerance levels, but sub-concussive impacts that do not …
