Accuracy of Instrumented Mouthguards During Direct Jaw Impacts Seen in Boxing.

Journal article Annals of biomedical engineering · December 2024 PurposeMeasuring head kinematics data is important to understand and develop methods and standards to mitigate head injuries in contact sports. Instrumented mouthguards (iMGs) have been developed to address coupling issues with previous sensors. A ... Full text Cite

Expanded Combined Loading Injury Criterion for the Human Lumbar Spine Under Dynamic Compression.

Journal article Annals of biomedical engineering · November 2024 Contemporary injury tolerance of the lumbar spine for under-body blast references axial compression and bending moments in a limited range. Since injuries often occur in a wider range of flexion and extension with increased moment contribution, this study ... Full text Cite

Biofidelity and Limitations of Instrumented Mouthguard Systems for Assessment of Rigid Body Head Kinematics.

Journal article Annals of biomedical engineering · October 2024 Instrumented mouthguard systems (iMGs) are commonly used to study rigid body head kinematics across a variety of athletic environments. Previous work has found good fidelity for iMGs rigidly fixed to anthropomorphic test device (ATD) headforms when compare ... Full text Cite

Female vs. male relative fatality risk in fatal motor vehicle crashes in the US, 1975-2020.

Journal article PloS one · January 2024 Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for young adults 18-29 years old worldwide, resulting in nearly 1 million years of life lost annually in the United States. Despite improvements in vehicle safety technologies, young women are at highe ... Full text Open Access Cite

Using Wavelet Analysis to Distinguish Cavitation Acoustic Emissions From Blunt Impact Noise.

Journal article Journal of biomechanical engineering · July 2021 Cavitation has been shown to have implications for head injury, but currently there is no solution for detecting the formation of cavitation through the skull during blunt impact. The goal of this communication is to confirm the wideband acoustic wavelet s ... Full text Cite
