Optimal Head Impact Signal Processing and the Description and Perception of Head Impact Exposure in Female Adolescent Ice Hockey Players
… research has begun to converge on using instrumented mouthguards to monitor head impact exposure in various sports. These devices offer six-degree-of-freedom head kinematic measurements and direct coupling to the measurement point of interest, the skull, by connecting to the upper …

Development of a Test Method for Evaluating the Ability of Headgear to Reduce Head Kinematics During Rugby Head Impacts
… soft-shell headgear can reduce concussion risk. Instrumented mouthguards (iMGs) provide researchers with valuable insights into head impact exposure and have been validated for accurate data collection. With the help of these mouthguards, researchers can better understand the head kinematics that …
