    • Evaluation of an In-Ear Sensor for Quantifying Head Impacts in Youth Soccer 

      Sandmo, Stian Bahr; McIntosh, Andrew S.; Andersen, Thor Einar; Koerte, Inga; Bahr, Roald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background: Wearable sensor systems have the potential to quantify head kinematic responses of head impacts in soccer. However, on-field use of sensors (eg, accelerometers) remains challenging, owing to poor coupling to ...
    • Radial and oblique impact testing of alpine helmets onto snow surfaces 

      Patton, Declan A.; Mohammadi, Reza; Halldin, Peter; Kleiven, Svein; McIntosh, Andrew S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Recent studies have found that alpine helmets reduce the risk of focal injuries associated with radial impacts, which is likely due to current alpine helmet standards requiring helmets to be drop-tested on flat anvils with ...
    • A review of head injury and impact biomechanics in recreational skiing and snowboarding 

      Patton, Declan A.; McIntosh, Andrew S.; Hagel, Brent; Krosshaug, Tron (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background: Skiing and snowboarding are popular competitive and recreational sports with associated head injury risks from impact hazards. Understanding head injury hazards and risks in snow sports can inform injury ...
