“…A 2016 study which reviews motorcycle injury in the professional racing community classifies injury patterns into four broad groups: lowside, highside, topside, and collision ( Table 1 ). 3 These injury patterns can then be further broken down to describe how injuries relevant to the orthopaedic surgery community are sustained ( Table 2 ).…”

Injuries sustained in motorcycle collisions can be organized into distinct patterns to improve recognition and treatment. Lowside, highside, topside, and collision are the four main categories of motorcycle crash types. Within those four crash types, mechanisms of injury include head-leading collisions, direct vertical impact, motorcycle radius, motorcycle thumb, fuel tank injures, limb entrapment, tyre-spoke injury, and crash modifying manoeuvre.

“…These injuries suggest a variety of potential causes: (1) abnormality of LLM, (2) biomechanical dysfunction, (3) characteristics of the riding environment, (4) male gender, (5) type of boot or shoes, and (6) foot pedal force. These factors are complex and related, and their precise roles in causing injury are not clear [7,8,9,10,11,12].…”

Customized foot insoles (CFI) have been recognized to reduce the prevalence of foot disorders in sport. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of four types of CFI on the activity patterns of the lower limb muscles (LLM) in healthy people during sport motorcycling. Methods: This was a cross-over trial (NCT03734133. Participants were recruited from an outpatient foot specialist clinic. Their mean age was 33 ± 5.14 years. While participants were sport motorcycling in a simulator, the electromyography (EMG) function was registered for LLM via surface electrodes. Participants completed separate tests while wearing one of four types of CFI: (1) only polypropylene (58° Shore D), (2) selective aluminum (60 HB Brinell hardness) in metatarsal and first hallux areas and polypropylene elsewhere (58° Shore D), (3) ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) (52° Shore A), and (4) standard EVA (25° Shore A) as the control. Results: The activity patterns of the LLM while sport motorcycling showed significantly lower peak amplitude for the selective aluminum CFI than the other types of CFI. Conclusion: EMG amplitude peaks for several LLM were smaller for the hardest CFI (selective aluminum 60 HB Brinell hardness) than the other CFIs (polypropylene 58° Shore D, EVA 52° Shore A, and standard EVA 25° Shore A), except for the fibularis longus in right curves that is increased when the knee touches the road increasing the stability.

“…Ten riders attended the medical facility, with two diagnosed with concussion, resulting in a disproportionately high proportion of concussion diagnoses (20%). 9 A far smaller proportion of concussion diagnoses was collected from the internal database of the 'Clinica Mobile' medical team during the 2014 season, encompassing MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3. Injury was defined as the 'inability to race or train', and of the 191 recorded, 1.6% (n ¼ 3) were concussion.…”

WARNING: motor sport can be dangerous'. The spectrum of head injuries in motor sport has shifted dramatically in recent decades, fuelled by advances in medicine and engineering. Despite these successes, there are growing public and professional concerns regarding concussion in motor sport. This review appraises the published literature concerning concussion in motor sport, with particular focus on the current medical and technical challenges in the field. The incidence and assessment of concussion in motor sport is discussed, in addition to modifiable risk factors within and outside the automobile environment. Lastly, areas for further research and development are outlined.
