    Abstract : TBI stands for Traumatic Brain Injury and refers to damage to the brain resulting from an external physical force, such as a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. Common causes of TBI include falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and violence and has been linked to thousands of deaths and injuries in the US and the EU alike. READ MORE

  3. 2. Head impact detection with sensor fusion and machine learning

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Aron Strandberg; [2022]
    Keywords : head impact detection; sensor fusion; 3D; machine learning; support vector machine; random forests;

    Abstract : Head injury is common in many different sports and elsewhere, and is often associated with differentdifficulties. One major problem is to identify and value the injury or the severity. Sometimes there is no sign of head injury, but a serious neck distortion has occurred, causing similar symptoms as head injuries e.g. READ MORE

  4. 3. Gait screening using a mobile phone application : horse asymmetry levels and usability of a mobile phone application for gait analysis, during a long format FEI eventing competition

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Jonna Martinsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Gait analysis; motion asymmetry; performing horses; FEI eventing; Artificial intelligence; computer vision; kinematics; gait screening; mobile phone application;

    Abstract : Orthopaedic disorders are the most common reason for unplanned rest in the performing horse population. Locomotor disorders which slowly build up to clear lameness might be avoidable with easy access objective motion measurement devices. READ MORE

  5. 4. Use of a Sperm-Hyaluronan Binding Assay for evaluation of sperm quality in dromedary camels

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Anna Kotila-Ioannou; [2022]
    Keywords : Camel Semen; Dromedary camel; Sperm-Hyaluronan Binding Assay; sperm quality analysis;

    Abstract : The objective of this study was to assess the potential of Hyaluronan Binding Assay (HBA) to predict freezability and fertilization capacity of dromedary camel spermatozoa, and to determine if conventional sperm quality parameters and precursor of A-Kinase Anchoring Protein 4 (proAKAP4) values correlate with HBA results. Two semen samples were collected from each of six male camels. READ MORE

  6. 5. Analysis of Head Kinematics in Ice Hockey

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : David Pogosian; [2022]
    Keywords : Ice hockey; Video analysis; MPS; THUMS; Concussion; Head kinematics; Finite Element analysis; Ishockey; Videoanalys; MPS; THUMS; Hjärnskakning; Huvudkinematik; Finita element metoden;

    Abstract : Ice hockey has been identified as a sport with a high risk for concussions due to it being highly physical. Improvements have been made over the years to improve the protective gear for the players effectively eliminating more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) however mild concussions (mTBI) are still prevalent to this day.
