The researchers have been focusing on football this fall but have been collecting data from field hockey and women’s lacrosse – sports where the athletes don’t wear helmets but do wear mouth guards.
The hope is that once researchers determine what forces cause a concussion, they can start improving sports equipment and rules to reduce injuries.
For their research, scientists have placed sensors on the athletes’ helmets and have been filming them in action with high-definition, super-slow-motion cameras to monitor the speed the head is traveling before and after impact.
The players also wear special mouth guards with accelerometers and gyrometers embedded in them that gauge the linear and rotational acceleration of the head during a hit.
They plan to compare the data from contacts that lead to concussions with the non-concussive impacts to see what, if any, differences there are.
“We’ve got a really unique opportunity to get the data that matters the most – the human data,” said David Camarillo, an assistant professor of bioengineering.
