Towards concussion prevention in ice hockey: mechanical metamaterial liners and helmet assessment
Daniel Matthias Haid
Abstract:Ice hockey has one of the highest concussion rates in sport. During player-to-player collisions, the most common concussive scenario, helmets have been shown to offer limited protection. Helmet testing that is representative of the broad range of potential head impacts requires extensive specialist equipment, while certification standards are currently not assessing the impact scenario that most commonly causes concussions in ice hockey. Consequently, helmets protect well in the scenario they are certified and… Show more
