    Abstract : Ice hockey is a sport with high velocities and a large number of impacts to the head. The high occurrence of concussions is being recognized, and both short and long term consequences have been found. READ MORE

  4. 3. Estimation of Velocities in Ice Hockey Collisions

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Mouna El Borgi; Mårten Norman; [2021]
    Keywords : Video analysis; Ice hockey; Deep learning; Velocity; Concussion;

    Abstract : Concussions occur frequently as a result of tackles in ice hockey. Analysis of video material may provide an understanding of the relationship between the kinematics of collisions and the risk for injury. In this thesis, two video analysis methods were used to estimate the impact velocities of 22 ice hockey tackles that resulted in concussions. READ MORE
