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

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 ...

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 ...

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) have become an increasing concern in modern society, particularly over the past century. Historically, our ancestors faced external forces that shaped the evolution ...
