While there is general agreement that concussion incidence can be reduced through rule changes and teaching proper tackling technique, there remains debate as to whether helmet design may also reduce the incidence of concussion. A retr...
متن کاملEffectiveness of the Football Helmet Assessed by Finite Element Modeling and Impact Testing
Mini-sled impact tests using a Hybrid III head-neck complex with and without a helmet were conducted to contrast resulting head accelerations. Because this experimental configuration includes both the linear and rotational impacts to the head, it represents the real world football impact condition better than drop tests traditionally used to evaluate the protective effect of a helmet. It was fo...

متن کاملFootball equipment design affects face mask removal efficiency.
BACKGROUND Researchers have investigated the performance of face mask removal tools for spine injury management in football but not the effects of football equipment design. HYPOTHESES Various styles or designs of football helmet equipment (helmets, face masks, loop straps) affect face mask removal efficiency. A cordless screwdriver performs more efficiently than do cutting tools. STUDY DES...
