  1. 1. 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.

    Abstract :  Ice hockey players are at a high risk to sustain a concussion. Most of the concussion-inducing hits are to the jaw region, nevertheless, most players do not wear any protective gear shielding the jaw. READ MORE

  5. 4. Concussions in Ice Hockey : Accident Reconstructions Using Finite Element Simulations

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

    Author : Ekant Mishra; [2019]
    Keywords : Concussion; Ice hockey helmet; Accident reconstruction; FE; HBMs;

    Abstract : Ice hockey, one of the most popular sports in the world, is a contact sport that is always associated with huge risks of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) resulting from high-velocity impacts. Although technology in player protection equipment has advanced over the years, mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) like concussion remain prevalent. READ MORE

  6. 5. FE-Modelling and Material Characterization of Ice-Hockey Helmet

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Isotta Rigoni; [2017]
    Keywords : traumatic brain injury; ice-hockey; helmet; finite element;

    Abstract : The aim of this research was to produce a reliable finite element model of a helmet, that could be used to simulate approval tests as well as impacts to investigate the safety offered. A 2D and 3D mesh was generated from the CAD file of an Easton Synergy 380 with HyperWorks, and then checked referring to standard parameter values. READ MORE
