“…While the frequency of use of e-bike and e-scooters was demonstrated to decrease during the pandemic, this was shown to be offset by an increase in the average duration and trip distance. 22 Furthermore, due to the impacts of social distancing, studies have suggested that e-bike and e-scooter usage has and will continue to increase as it serves as both a reliable and safe substitution for public transport in the post-pandemic world. 23 , 24 It is also important to note that the results are limited by the change in coding system of the data base after 2019, limiting comparison of the data beyond 2019.…”

Introduction To evaluate eye and orbital injuries in non-powered scooter, electric-scooter (e-scooter), and hoverboard riders in the United States (US) between 2014 and 2019. Methods The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) was queried for head and neck injuries by body part codes related to non-powered scooters and powered scooters/hoverboards from 2014 to 2019. The NEISS complex sampling design was used to obtain US population projections of injuries and hospital admissions. Keywords were queried in case narratives to analyze trends in location, type, and mechanism of eye and orbit injuries. Results Since their introduction, a 586% (p=0.01) increase in e-scooter injuries and 866% (p<0.001) increase in hoverboard injuries were observed with an increase in hospital admissions seen in young adults (18–34) in urban areas (e-scooter: 5980% and hoverboard: 479%). Descriptive narratives of the trauma noted eye injuries in 242 unweighted NEISS cases with only 30 cases appropriately documented under body part code 77: eyeball. Eye injuries increased 96.9% during the study period (p=0.23). Specifically, the most common ophthalmic injuries reported included eyebrow (40.9%) and eyelid (11.3%) lacerations, periorbital contusions (18.7%), orbit fractures (6.6%), and corneal abrasions (5.1%). Conclusion There was a significant increase in both head and neck injury cases and hospital admissions related to e-scooters. Eye and orbit injuries similarly increased but were underreported by body part code compared to injury narratives. Orbital fractures were reported more frequently in injuries from e-scooters than non-powered scooters.

“…During the lockdown, nearly all public buildings, including schools and retail establishments, are closed, and all public gatherings were prohibited [2]. COVID-19 significantly impacted transportation mobility worldwide, leading to travel restrictions, social distancing, gathering bans, stay-at-home orders, and work-from-home policies [3]. These measures were put in place to reduce the spread of the virus and affected all transportation sectors [4,5].…”
