  • Analysis of the Protective Capacity of Ice Hockey Helmets in a Concussion Injury Reconstruction
    IRC-14-17 IRCOBI Conference 2014 Analysis of the protective capacity of ice hockey helmets in a concussion injury reconstruction Andrew Post, Clara Karton, T. Blaine Hoshizaki, Michael D. Gilchrist Abstract Concussion unfortunately is a common and serious injury in ice hockey, involving a large number of youth and pro level athletes. The purpose of this research was to examine the efficacy of ten ice hockey helmet models in protecting players. A head impact during a professional ice hockey game that resulted in a documented concussion was reconstructed in the laboratory. The impact parameters were determined from video analysis of the incident that resulted in a concussion. The event was reconstructed in the laboratory using mechanical impacts and finite element modelling. The performance of the ice hockey helmets was measured using peak linear and rotational acceleration. The acceleration time histories were used as input to the University College Dublin Brain Trauma Model to determine the maximum principal strain. The results demonstrated that the shell and liner design of the helmets influence the motion of the head during an impact. Low responses in peak resultant linear acceleration do not reflect low responses in peak resultant rotational acceleration. When comparing the helmets using maximum principal strain as the metric, there were differences between helmet models not reflected in the kinematic data. This suggests that the magnitude of strain is not fully represented by peak resultant linear and rotational acceleration. In addition, while the differences between the helmets’ protective capacity were statistically significant, those differences would not have appreciably affected the likelihood of concussive injury in this reconstruction.

  • Ice Hockey Fitting Guide
    Ice Hockey Equipment Fitting Guide - Fit to Play the Right Way Brought to you by: coachsafely.org www.helmetfitting.com follow us @coachsafely and @Helmetfitting All material copyright: CoachSafely Foundation and Helmetfitting.com YOUTH AGE GROUPS: 8-and-Under (mite), 10-and-Under (squirt), 12-and-Under (peewee), 14-and-Under (bantam) Each player is personally responsible to wear protective equipment for all games, warm-ups and practices. Such equipment should include gloves, shin pads, shoulder pads, elbow pads, hip pads or padded hockey pants, protective cup, tendon pads plus all head protective equipment as required by USA Hockey rules. It is recommended that all protective equipment be designed specifically for ice hockey. HELMETS A hockey helmet’s primary purpose is to prevent a skull fracture, not a concussion. A skull fracture or other blunt impact can be dissipated across the shells and foams of a helmet, but a concussion occurs due to rotational forces. What this means is, if your head moves rapidly, such as in a whiplash situation, a concussion may occur even without any impact to the head. WARNING Ice hockey is a collision sport that is dangerous. Hockey helmets afford no protection from neck or spinal injury. Severe head, brain or spinal injuries including paralysis or death may occur despite using a hockey helmet. Youth athletes should wear youth helmets. All players, including goalkeepers are required to properly wear a Hockey Equipment Certification Council (HECC) approved helmet as designed by the manufacturer and with no alterations and chin strap properly fastened. All youth through college players, including goalkeepers, are required to wear full facial protection—wire cage, full shield or combination mask certified by HECC, plus any chin protection that accompanies the face mask.

  • Angular Acceleration Responses of American Football, Lacrosse and Ice Hockey Helmets Subject to Low‐Energy Impacts
    IRC-14-18 IRCOBI Conference 2014 Angular Acceleration Responses of American Football, Lacrosse and Ice Hockey Helmets Subject to Low‐Energy Impacts R. Anna Oeur, Katrina Zanetti, T. Blaine Hoshizaki Abstract Neurological complications associated with sports‐related brain trauma have been a recent concern and focus of research. In turn, sensor technologies have been developed to count head impacts during sports. Low‐level impacts present a low risk for concussion but are implicated in long‐term neurological conditions. The effectiveness of helmets at managing angular acceleration at this energy level is unknown. The objective of this research was to examine the ability of American football, lacrosse and hockey helmets and the bare head to manage angular accelerations for low‐level impacts (20g). A 50th percentile Hybrid III headform was impacted using a pendulum system at nine centric and non‐centric impact sites. Linear and angular accelerations were recorded using nine single‐axis accelerometers arranged in a 3‐2‐2‐2 array. A consistent trend across centric and non‐centric impact sites was observed for peak angular acceleration: football helmets produced the lowest levels, followed by the bare headform, with the lacrosse and hockey helmets producing the highest values. At the crown site, however, the football helmet produced the highest angular acceleration. Peak angular acceleration at low impact energies was influenced by the type of helmet and impact condition. While there is little risk in terms of linear acceleration for low‐level impacts, angular accelerations approach a 25% risk of concussion. Helmets must be tested and designed to manage these impacts.

  • Effect of Protective Helmets on Visual and Sensory Performance
    EFFECT OF PROTECTIVE HELMETS ON VISUAL AND SENSORY PERFORMANCE By Michelle Rebecca Kramer Senior Honors Thesis Exercise and Sport Science University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 11, 2016 Approved: __________________________________________ Jason Mihalik, PhD, Thesis Advisor Erin Wasserman, PhD, Reader Elizabeth Teel, MS, Reader ABSTRACT MICHELLE REBECCA KRAMER: Effect of Protective Helmets on Visual and Sensory Performance (Under the direction of Jason P. Mihalik) Current helmet testing does not consider implications on ability to see and respond, which is key to reducing injury risk. The purpose was to determine the effect of athletic headgear (i.e., football, lacrosse, and ice hockey helmets) on visual and sensory performance, as measured by scores on the Senaptec Sensory Station. Subjects were assessed on visual clarity, contrast sensitivity, depth perception, near-far quickness, target capture, perception span, multiple object tracking, eye-hand coordination, go/no go, and hand reaction time via the computer based system under helmeted and unhelmeted conditions. Participants performed significantly worse on eye- hand coordination (p=0.01) and go/no go (p<0.01) assessments when wearing a helmet. Hockey helmets significantly affected visual clarity (p=0.01) and hand reaction time (p<0.01), but football and lacrosse helmets did not. Visual training with helmets should be considered to try to combat some of these visual deficits. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES .........................................................................................................................

  • Projectile Impact Testing of Ice Hockey Helmets: Headform Kinematics and Dynamic Measurement of Localized Pressure Distribution
    IRC-14-16 IRCOBI Conference 2014 Projectile Impact Testing of Ice Hockey Helmets: Headform Kinematics and Dynamic Measurement of Localized Pressure Distribution. Ryan Ouckama, David J. Pearsall Abstract Ice hockey pucks are rubber projectiles that can carry >180 J of kinetic energy during a slap shot. When striking the temporal region of the skull, pressures capable of fracture can occur. Despite this risk, there is very little research on the topic. In this study, five helmet models, representing various material and shell compositions, were fit to a Hybrid III headform and subjected to puck impact at 24.2 m/s (PI24) and 33 m/s (PI33). The linear and angular kinematics of the headform and dynamic load distribution at the contact site were measured using 9 accelerometers and 25 force sensors. The cumulative strain damage measure (CSDM) was calculated using the SIMon (Simulated Injury Monitor) brain model. Thick‐shelled HDPE helmets using different EPP foams tended to perform similarly, whereas the combination of thin polycarbonate shell and lightweight foam performed poorly, particularly at PI33, for both acceleration‐derived values and CSDM. Helmets with VN liners appeared to exhibit reduced CSDM as compared to models with EPP liners or a plastic cylinder array. The quantification of this impact type provides insight into current helmet effectiveness during this impact modality which may place players at risk of mTBI injury or scalp lacerations. Keywords Ice Hockey, Helmet, Impact, Injury. I. INTRODUCTION Mandatory helmet use and the establishment of national safety standards were introduced to the sport of ice hockey following public outcry due to the high frequency of severe head injuries in the sport during the 1960s and 1970s.

  • Helmet Construction Influences Brain Strain Patterns for Events Causing Concussion in Youth Ice Hockey
    IRC-17-33 IRCOBI Conference 2017 Helmet Construction Influences Brain Strain Patterns for Events Causing Concussion in Youth Ice Hockey David A. Koncan, Roger Zemek, MD, Michael D. Gilchrist, Thomas B. Hoshizaki Abstract Two conventional ice hockey helmet liners were tested for head impact events documented to cause concussion in youth ice hockey (falls to the ice and boards). Impact parameters were established using real world cases of concussion in youth ice hockey to inform MADYMO simulations, which established a corridor of response representative of youth ice hockey impact events. Helmets were tested at two velocities on two surfaces (ice and boards), at a high and low velocity determined by the kinematic simulations. Helmets were evaluated based on impact kinematics and finite element metrics of maximum principal strains and cumulative strain damage measures using a scaled finite element model of the brain. The vinyl nitrile liner showed better performance at reducing rotational acceleration and velocity measures, whereas the expanded polypropylene liner performed better for reducing linear acceleration for most cases. The vinyl nitrile liner showed better performance in reducing maximum principal strain for impacts at and below 4 m/s, but showed signs of approaching the upper functional range at 4.5 m/s with increased strain compared to the expanded polypropylene liner. Keywords Concussion, helmets, youth ice hockey, head impact, finite element modelling I. INTRODUCTION Helmets play an important role in ice hockey, protecting participants who sustain impacts to the head resulting from falling onto the ice and boards, from collisions with other players, or from stick and puck impacts.

  • Time Series Measurement of Force Distribution in Ice Hockey Helmets
    Time Series Measurement of Force Distribution in Ice Hockey Helmets during Varying Impact Conditions Ryan Andrew Ouckama Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education, Faculty of Education, McGill University Montreal, Quebec, Canada March 2013 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Kinesiology and Physical Education Ryan Ouckama, 2013. All rights reserved. ii ABSTRACT Modern sport helmets have been effective in reducing catastrophic head injuries such as skull fracture and subdural hematoma; yet, the high prevalence of minor traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) is an unresolved public health concern. Consequently, there is a need for greater scrutiny in a helmet’s ability to mitigate collision forces that may correspond to mTBI risk. Current safety standards primarily assess a helmet’s ability to minimize the whole head’s peak acceleration during blunt impacts. Absent are dynamic measures local to the impact site itself due to the technical challenge to spatial map high impact force magnitudes with high temporal resolution. Inclusion of the latter measures may enhance the functional assessment of helmets. Thus, the aim of this research was to develop a localized impact mapping system (LIMS) for placement between the helmet and head interface and then to utilize the LIMS to evaluate the mechanical behaviour of various padding foams and helmets during controlled headform drop and projectile collision tests. Interposed between the helmet shell/padding and head surface, this LIMS consists of an array of discrete, thin force sensors connected to a compact signal conditioner and high speed data acquisition digital recorder.
