The skull evolved for protection against blunt force. Modern acceleration and rotational forces expose the brain to new ...

Objective: The biomechanics of the head for punches to the jaw and the risk of head injury from translational and rotational acceleration were studied. Methods: Seven Olympic boxers from five weight ...

The head injury criterion and maximum headform acceleration values followed a similar trend. A steep increase was noted in the magnitude of maximum headform acceleration and head injury criterion when ...

A coup brain injury is one that occurs at the site of an impact to the head, while a contrecoup injury is one that occurs at the side opposite to the site of the impact. A contrecoup injury mostly ...
