Research in TBI
ImPACT, neuropsychological, cognitive testing Pre & post season
Head impacts measured via HIT helmets Rotational & linear acceleration Location, force of impacts
Average 469 impacts

Research in TBI
Significantly higher % of contact athletes performed below predicted postseason score Subgroup w/ cognitive impact - higher
magnitudes/frequencies
No differences pre-season Suggests lack of residual effects
Confounds?
