Head impacts can cause concussion, but the precise biomechanical conditions that produce injury remain uncertain. Rotational acceleration has long been posited as the primary cause…
Padded Helmet Shell Covers in American Football: A Comprehensive Laboratory Evaluation with Preliminary On-Field Findings
Nicholas J. Cecchi, Ashlyn A. Callan, Landon P. Watson +8
Protective headgear effects measured in the laboratory may not always translate to the field. In this study, we evaluated the impact attenuation capabilities of a commercially avai…
Time Window of Head Impact Kinematics Measurement for Calculation of Brain Strain and Strain Rate in American Football
Yuzhe Liu, August G. Domel, Nicholas J. Cecchi +8
Wearable devices have been shown to effectively measure the head movement during impacts in sports like American football. When a head impact occurs, the device is triggered to col…
