Research now suggests that head impacts commonly occur during contact sports in which
visible signs or symptoms of neurological dysfunction may not develop despite those …

An athletic profile should encompass the physiological, biomechanical, anthropometric and
performance measures pertinent to the athlete's sport and discipline. The measurement …

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative tauopathy associated with
repetitive head impacts (RHI), but the components of RHI exposure underlying this …

Background The natural history of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion remains
poorly defined and no objective biomarker of physiological recovery exists for clinical use …

Objective: To determine whether exposure to repetitive head impacts over a single season
affects white matter diffusion measures in collegiate contact sport athletes. Methods: A …

In American football, impacts to the helmet and the resulting head accelerations are the
primary cause of concussion injury and potentially chronic brain injury. The purpose of this …

Head impact exposure in youth football has not been well-documented, despite children
under the age of 14 accounting for 70% of all football players in the United States. The …

Purpose This study compares the frequency and severity of head impacts sustained by
football players on days with and without diagnosed concussion and to identify the …

Background: Direct impacts with the head (linear acceleration or pressure) and inertial
loading of the head (rotational acceleration or strain) have been postulated as the 2 major …

The following work presents an overview of smart sensors and sensor fusion targeted at
biomedical applications and sports areas. In this work, the integration of these areas is …
