Biomechanical injury risk analysis of a child dummy under cricket ball impacts: A finite element study
Children, while playing cricket, may get exposed to impact-related injuries. Most available studies have been done on adult players. Pediatric biomechanics concerning cricket ball impacts have been unexamined, supported by assumptions and surrogate models. This research used a finite element model of a child dummy, a ball, and a steel chair. Four conditions based on […]
Contact Role and Tackle Characteristics Shape Head Acceleration Exposure in Male Community Rugby: A Cohort Study Utilising Instrumented Mouthguards
CONCLUSIONS: Tackles and rucks are primary sources of HAEs, with risk shaped by posture, tackle height and player role. Lower tackle heights reduce ball carrier load but increase tackler exposure, indicating a potential safety trade-off. Younger players, particularly U13s, were more susceptible to secondary impacts (e.g. head-to-ground), potentially because of limited task-specific experience and underdeveloped […]
Soccer Heading Exposure-Dependent Microstructural Injury at Depths of Sulci in Adult Amateur Players
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Repetitive head impacts (RHIs) in sports are associated with adverse clinical and neuropathologic outcomes, but there is limited evidence from in vivo human imaging studies to inform risk assessment, exposure standards, and interventions. We tested the association of RHI with in vivo microstructural disruption at the depths of cerebral sulci, a region […]
Connecting the Dots: The Role of Pediatric Concussion on Pubertal Hormones and Psychological Health
PURPOSE: Psychological health issues resulting from emotional dysregulation such as anxiety and depression following pediatric concussion are a public health concern, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Puberty opens a window of vulnerability for emotion dysregulation and a link between pediatric concussion and hormonal deficits has been reported. We investigated the association between pubertal hormones […]
Patterns of Post-Concussive Symptoms Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Longitudinal Data in Children and Adults to Examine Sex Differences Across the Life Span
OBJECTIVE: To examine sex- and age-related differences in patterns of post-concussive symptoms (PCS), across cognitive, somatic, emotional, and behavioral domains, and their recovery within the first 6 months after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and their relation to participation.
