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…
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…
