  • 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 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 .........................................................................................................................

    Analysis of current Traumatic Brain Injuries, concussion rates, helmet protection standards, helmet design deficiencies, and suggestions for basic helmet improvement in youth ice hockey and other contact sports David J Millar Jan 2011 DRAFT 8.1 © 2011 David Millar and US Youth Sports US Youth Sports nor any of their employees makes any warranty, expressed or implied, or assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information herein.

Helmets and facial protection will not eliminate the possibility of all injuries but they have been shown to reduce some injuries. Purpose To evaluate the current helmet standards used in ice hockey as compared to other contact sports. The current research in concussions (TBI). The current design, materials and processes used in the production of helmets. Recommend design and standards changes to reduce the probability of TBI, head, neck and facial injuries in youth ice hockey. These changes have applications in football and lacrosse as well. Methods Current research materials were reviewed and helmets were purchased for testing, measurements, and evaluation of construction. Results Design deficiencies and areas for improvement were noted in all contact sports helmets tested. The probability of TBI AIS4 can be reduced by > 6 percentage points. 1 Conclusion Changing the design, liner materials, construction, manufacturing, and assembly techniques that are currently available and used in helmet manufacturing today along with raising the helmet testing standards can reduce the probability of TBI and mTBI in contact sports.
