Concussive Head Impact Biomechanics in Women's Lacrosse and Soccer Athletes: A Case Series

The authors present the biomechanics of concussive head impacts in two women's lacrosse and two women's soccer athletes. The linear accelerations of the impacts that caused the concussions were lower than those reported previously in the literature (range: 15.78 to 76.52 g; 11,976.06 to 2,...

Summary:The authors present the biomechanics of concussive head impacts in two women's lacrosse and two women's soccer athletes. The linear accelerations of the impacts that caused the concussions were lower than those reported previously in the literature (range: 15.78 to 76.52 g; 11,976.06 to 2,693.18 rad/s2). Concussions appear heterogeneous from a mechanism standpoint. [Athletic Training & Sports Health Care. 2019;11(3):143–146].
