Evaluating Advanced Impact Mitigation Technologies for Concussion Risk Reduction in Youth Cycling Helmets
Jessica A Towns, Fady F Abayazid, Gerald A Grant +2
The efficacy of advanced cycling helmet technologies under youth-specific impact conditions remains unclear. We evaluated how helmet technologies affect head kinematics and concuss…
Limitations of Rotational Acceleration for Predicting Concussion: A New Injury Risk Function
Jessica A. Towns, Nicholas J. Cecchi, James W. Hickey +9
Purpose: Rotational acceleration of the head has long been hypothesized to be a primary driver of concussion because it can generate shear strains in brain tissue, whereas linear a…
Differences between Two Maximal Principal Strain Rate Calculation Schemes in Traumatic Brain Analysis with in-vivo and in-silico Datasets
Xianghao Zhan, Zhou Zhou, Yuzhe Liu +5
Brain deformation caused by a head impact leads to traumatic brain injury (TBI). The maximum principal strain (MPS) was used to measure the extent of brain deformation and predict…
Identification of head impact locations, speeds, and force based on head kinematics
Xianghao Zhan, Yuzhe Liu, Nicholas J. Cecchi +5
Objective: Head impact information including impact directions, speeds and force are important to study traumatic brain injury, design and evaluate protective gears. This study pre…
Toward more accurate and generalizable brain deformation estimators for traumatic brain injury detection with unsupervised domain adaptation
Xianghao Zhan, Jiawei Sun, Yuzhe Liu +5
Machine learning head models (MLHMs) are developed to estimate brain deformation for early detection of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the overfitting to simulated impacts…
Denoising instrumented mouthguard measurements of head impact kinematics with a convolutional neural network
Xianghao Zhan, Yuzhe Liu, Nicholas J. Cecchi +6
Wearable sensors for measuring head kinematics can be noisy due to imperfect interfaces with the body. Mouthguards are used to measure head kinematics during impacts in traumatic b…
