Rotational Acceleration, Brain Tissue Strain, and the Relationship to Concussion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanisms of concussion have been investigated by many researchers using a variety of methods. However, there remains much debate over the relationships between head kinematics from an impact and concussion. This ...
Distribution of Brain Strain in the Cerebrum for Laboratory Impacts to Ice Hockey Goaltender Masks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Concussions are among the most common injuries sustained by goaltenders. Concussive injuries are characterized by impairment to neurological function which can affect many different brain regions. Understanding how different ...
Could a Compliant Foam Anvil Characterize the Biofidelic Impact Response of Equestrian Helmets?
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The performance of equestrian helmets to protect against brain injuries caused by fall impacts against compliant surfaces such as turf has not been studied widely. We characterize the kinematic response of simulated fall ...
Biomechanical Comparison of Real World Concussive Impacts in Children, Adolescents, and Adults
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accidental falls occur to people of all ages, with some resulting in concussive injury. At present, it is unknown whether children and adolescents are at a comparable risk of sustaining a concussion compared to adults. ...
