Book Synopsis Biomechanical Engineering Analyses of Head and Spine Impact Injury Risk Via Experimentation and Computational Simulation by : Adam Jesse Bartsch
Download or read book Biomechanical Engineering Analyses of Head and Spine Impact Injury Risk Via Experimentation and Computational Simulation written by Adam Jesse Bartsch and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Head and spine injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, skull fracture, concussion and osteoligamentous cervical spine injury continue to be prevalent in motor vehicle crashes, athletics and the military. Automotive safety systems, athletic safety equipment and military personal protective paraphernalia designs have generally focused on protection discretely designed on a component basis head or spine but not a systems basis, considering the head-spine linkage simultaneously. But since the cervical spine acts as the attachment point for the head, the boundary conditions applied to the cervical spine influence the behavior of the head. Hence, in analyzing injury risk for the head and the spine, each structure composes one portion of an intrinsically linked osteoligamentous system; thus injury risk for the head and the cervical spine might be more appropriately considered concurrently as opposed to individually. Historically, component-based injury protection designs have utilized head and cervical spine injury risk criteria developed from human, animal and anthropomorphic surrogate studies. While a plethora of these prior studies separately analyzed head injury risk via linear acceleration, Head Injury Criterion (HIC) or Gadd Severity Index (GSI), or cervical spine injury risk via axial/shear forces, bending moments or the Neck Injury Criterion (Nij), relatively few of these studies employed a systems-based approach to understand coupled head-cervical spine injury risk behavior. Thus, designing for optimal head and cervical spine injury protection may not be as trivial as separate consideration of head or spine component injury thresholds. Therefore, through a series of six biomechanical engineering studies that comprised the chapters of this dissertation, the work presented here broadly investigated head and cervical spine injury protection on a systems-based approach considering head and cervical spine injury risk simultaneously. In Chapter 1, injury risk in inertial loading during real-world low energy minor rear car crashes was analyzed. In Chapter 2, these minor crashes from Chapter 1 were further investigated via use of numerical simulation in MADYMO. While Chapters 1 and 2 explored low energy car crash loading, Chapter 3 explored multivariate head and cervical spine injury implications from direct head loading during frontal airbag inflation in high energy experimental car crashes. Chapter 4 expanded the direct frontal head impact loading analyzed in Chapter 3 to include oblique and lateral impact loading during impact experiments with a Hybrid III anthropomorphic test device. The low- and high-energy injury analysis methods developed in Chapters 1 through 4 helped drive the study of multivariate injury risk in response to experimental omnidirectional athletic head impacts in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 further built on the high-energy athletic impacts from Chapter 5 via Matlab and Simulink simulation of helmeted impacts using a systems dynamics approach. Finally, Chapter 7 analyzed development of an impact pendulum, pilot cadaveric injury response to direct head impact and analysis of similar impacts in a helmeted human surrogate. The results of all of these related studies indicated that head and cervical spine injury risk were interrelated during direct or inertial car crash and athletic impacts.

Divided into three sections, it ranges from the logistics of establishing a simulation and skills centre and the inherent problems with funding, equipment, staffing, and course development to the considerations for healthcare-centred simulation within medical education and the steps required to develop courses that comply with 'best practice' in medical education. Providing an in-depth understanding of how medical educators can best incorporate simulation teaching methodologies into their curricula, this book is an invaluable resource to teachers across all medical specialties.
Download or read book Handbook of Human Motion written by and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Human Motion is a large cross-disciplinary reference work which covers the many interlinked facets of the science and technology of human motion and its measurement. Individual chapters cover fundamental principles and technological developments, the state-of-the-art and consider applications across four broad and interconnected fields; medicine, sport, forensics and animation. The huge strides in technological advancement made over the past century make it possible to measure motion with unprecedented precision, but also lead to new challenges. This work introduces the many different approaches and systems used in motion capture, including IR and ultrasound, mechanical systems and video, plus some emerging techniques. The large variety of techniques used for the study of motion science in medicine can make analysis a complicated process, but extremely effective for the treatment of the patient when well utilised. The handbook descri bes how motion capture techniques are applied in medicine, and shows how the resulting analysis can help in diagnosis and treatment. A closely related field, sports science involves a combination of in-depth medical knowledge and detailed understanding of performance and training techniques, and motion capture can play an extremely important role in linking these disciplines. The handbook considers which technologies are most appropriate in specific circumstances, how they are applied and how this can help prevent injury and improve sporting performance. The application of motion capture in forensic science and security is reviewed, with chapters dedicated to specific areas including employment law, injury analysis, criminal activity and motion/facial recognition. And in the final area of application, the book describes how novel motion capture techniques have been designed specifically to aid the creation of increasingly realistic animation within films and v ideo games, with Lord of the Rings and Avatar just two examples. Chapters will provide an overview of the bespoke motion capture techniques developed for animation, how these have influenced advances in film and game design, and the links to behavioural studies, both in humans and in robotics. Comprising a cross-referenced compendium of different techniques and applications across a broad field, the Handbook of Human Motion provides the reader with a detailed reference and simultaneously a source of inspiration for future work. The book will be of use to students, researchers, engineers and others working in any field relevant to human motion capture.

Book Synopsis Sports-Related Concussions in Youth by : National Research Council
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.
