This book was released on 1982 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problems dealing with impact injury caused by linear acceleration are covered. Papers cover spinal column injuries caused by gz (eyeballs down) impact, tensile (eyeballs up) loading of the spinal column, and lower leg injuries, as sustained by front seat occupants in automobile 'glance off' impacts at high speed. Head and neck injury mechanisms are discussed both from a physiological and neurological standpoint. Both helmeted and unhelmeted head impacts are analyzed, and helmet test and evaluation methods are covered. Several papers described accident/injury investigation methods, including a helicopter crash test with instrumented dummies aboard. Injury-preventing hardware is covered; papers include restraint harness slack, 'dynamic preload' of the restrained body, testing and evaluation of new shock-absorbing (stroking) helicopter seats, automotive air bag testing, and the use of a 'webbing tear' shock absorber on a helicopter crew chief's restraint harness. The validation of a spinal injury model and a more general kinematics (whole body) model are also discussed. Finally, the cost effectiveness of torso armor was discussed in two papers. The conclusions from this meeting will hopefully be applied for improved impact protection.

Download or read book Sports Related Concussions in Youth written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade, few subjects at the intersection of medicine and sports have generated as much public interest as sports-related concussions - especially among youth. Despite growing awareness of sports-related concussions and campaigns to educate athletes, coaches, physicians, and parents of young athletes about concussion recognition and management, confusion and controversy persist in many areas. Currently, diagnosis is based primarily on the symptoms reported by the individual rather than on objective diagnostic markers, and there is little empirical evidence for the optimal degree and duration of physical rest needed to promote recovery or the best timing and approach for returning to full physical activity. Sports-Related Concussions in Youth: Improving the Science, Changing the Culture reviews the science of sports-related concussions in youth from elementary school through young adulthood, as well as in military personnel and their dependents. This report recommends actions that can be taken by a range of audiences - including research funding agencies, legislatures, state and school superintendents and athletic directors, military organizations, and equipment manufacturers, as well as youth who participate in sports and their parents - to improve what is known about concussions and to reduce their occurrence. Sports-Related Concussions in Youth finds that while some studies provide useful information, much remains unknown about the extent of concussions in youth; how to diagnose, manage, and prevent concussions; and the short- and long-term consequences of concussions as well as repetitive head impacts that do not result in concussion symptoms. The culture of sports negatively influences athletes' self-reporting of concussion symptoms and their adherence to return-to-play guidance. Athletes, their teammates, and, in some cases, coaches and parents may not fully appreciate the health threats posed by concussions. Similarly, military recruits are immersed in a culture that includes devotion to duty and service before self, and the critical nature of concussions may often go unheeded. According to Sports-Related Concussions in Youth, if the youth sports community can adopt the belief that concussions are serious injuries and emphasize care for players with concussions until they are fully recovered, then the culture in which these athletes perform and compete will become much safer. Improving understanding of the extent, causes, effects, and prevention of sports-related concussions is vitally important for the health and well-being of youth athletes. The findings and recommendations in this report set a direction for research to reach this goal.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Clinical Neuropsychology written by Jeffrey Kreutzer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical neuropsychology is a rapidly evolving specialty whose practitioners serve patients with traumatic brain injury, stroke and other vascular impairments, brain tumors, epilepsy and nonepileptic seizure disorders, developmental disabilities, progressive neurological disorders, HIV- and AIDS-related disorders, and dementia. . Services include evaluation, treatment, and case consultation in child, adult, and the expanding geriatric population in medical and community settings. The clinical goal always is to restore and maximize cognitive and psychological functioning in an injured or compromised brain. Most neuropsychology reference books focus primarily on assessment and diagnosis, and to date none has been encyclopedic in format. Clinicians, patients, and family members recognize that evaluation and diagnosis is only a starting point for the treatment and recovery process. During the past decade there has been a proliferation of programs, both hospital- and clinic-based, that provide rehabilitation, treatment, and treatment planning services. This encyclopedia will serve as a unified, comprehensive reference for professionals involved in the diagnosis, evaluation, and rehabilitation of adult patients and children with neuropsychological disorders.
Download or read book The Biomechanics of Impact Injury written by Albert I. King and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text acquaints the reader on the biomechanics of injury to the human body caused by impact and the use of computer models to simulate impact events. It provides a basic understanding of the biomechanics of the injuries resulting from the impact to the head, neck, chest, abdomen, spine, pelvis and the lower extremities, including the foot and ankle. Other topics include side impact, car-pedestrian impact, effectiveness of automotive restraint systems and sports-related injuries.

Download or read book Evaluation of Head Linear and Rotational Acceleration Response to Various Linear induced Impact Scenarios written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incidents resulting in head injury generally involve components of both linear and rotational motion. The protection of the head from injury most often comes from the use of some form of helmet. Helmets currently are designed only to protect the head from linear accelerations. Recent research involving the analysis of concussion in professional football suggested that linear accelerations are more consistent in the prediction of concussion, with the resultant rotational accelerations correlating to the peak linear accelerations of the impact. This research proposes to determine if the situation of the head impact has an effect on the correlation of the linear and rotational accelerations, as well as to determine if the linear acceleration is consistent as the predominating factor of concussion in various linearinduced impact scenarios. Through the development of various impact test conditions using bicycle helmets on a biofidelic test headform and Hybrid III neck, it was determined that the correlation between the linear and rotational accelerations experienced by the head is affected in part by the impact situation. Additionally, while linear accelerations may be adequate predictors of concussion in some impact scenarios, it was determined that there are situations in which the rotational accelerations would be the more dominating factor in the expected probability of concussion.
