Establishing Boundary Conditions for Optimized Reconstruction of Head Impacts
… rotational accelerations of the head during an impact, which are influenced by various factors such as the velocity and location of the impact and the contact surface. Consequently, the accuracy of laboratory tests designed to evaluate protective technologies must closely mirror real-world …

SUBCONCUSSIVE HEAD IMPACT EFFECT ON PLASMA EXPRESSION OF S100-BETA AND PINCH PROTEINS IN COLLEGIATE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
… longer-term effects of repetitive subconcussive impacts on plasma S100β and PINCH levels and concussion-related symptom score were examined. The first aim was to investigate the acute repetitive subconcussive impact effect by comparing the biomarker levels at pre and post full-gear practice, …

A Comparison of Brain Trauma Characteristics from Head Impacts for Lightweight and Heavyweight Fighters in Professional Mixed Martial Arts
… and Heavyweight fighters in MMA may affect head impact kinematics creating different levels of head injury risk. Factors that influence the risk for head injury include the frequency, magnitude and interval of head impacts. The purpose of this study was to compare differences in frequency, …

Assessing the Efficacy of Bicycle Helmets in Reducing Risk of Head Injury
… specifying a minimal level of acceptable impact protection. However, the conditions surrounding cyclist head impacts are thought to be much more complex than the test conditions prescribed in standards and have important implications related to mechanisms of injury. The overarching aim of …

Traumatic Brain Injury Mechanisms in the Gottingen Minipig in Response to Two Unique Input Modes
… potential, but this metric does not relate an impact to underlying damage. For an injury metric to effectively predict TBI, it is crucial to relate level of impact to resulting injury. The research presented in this dissertation explains the development and repeatability of two novel injury …
