Interestingly, just days before the NFL's decision to suspend the use of
impact sensors was announced, my local paper, The Boston Globe, came out with a powerful editorial in which it urged college, high school, and recreational leagues in contact and collision sports to consider mandating use of
impact sensors, or, at the very least, experimenting with the technology, to alert the sideline personnel to hits that might cause concussion, and to track
data on repetitive
head impacts, which, a growing body of peer - reviewed evidence suggests, may result, over time, in just as much, if not more, damage to an athlete's brain, as a single concussive blow, and may even predispose an athlete to concussion.
My experience with the Newcastle football team in Oklahoma leads me to believe that, as long as
impact sensors are strictly used for the limited purpose of providing real - time
impact data to qualified sideline personnel, not to diagnose concussions, not as the sole determining factor in making remove - from - play decisions, and not to replace the necessity for observers on the sports sideline trained in recognizing the signs of concussion and in conducting a sideline screening for concussion using one or more sideline assessment tests for concussion (e.g. SCAT3, balance, King - Devick, Maddocks questions, SAC)(preferably by a certified athletic trainer and / or team physician), and long as
data on the number, force, and direction of
impacts is only made available for use by coaches and athletic trainers in a position to use such information to adjust an athlete's blocking or tackling tec hnique (and not for indiscriminate use by those, such as parents, who are not in a position to make intelligent use of the
data), they represent a valuable addition to a program's concussion toolbox and as a tool to minimize repetitive
head impacts.
However, researchers who have collected
impact sensor
data for years, including Dr. Stefan Duma, who runs the biomedical engineering department at Virginia Tech and helped develop the STAR helmet rating system, were quick to say that the league was being too careful, and that, while not perfect, even with a 10 to 20 percent error rate, the sensors were valuable and give reasonable
data that is useful, not only in football, but in analyzing
head hits in sports like soccer and hockey.
Given that concussion risk is influenced by many factors in addition to
impact biomechanics, viewing an athlete's
head -
impact data may provide context for the clinician working on the sidelines, but
impact sensors should not replace clinical judgment.
Head -
impact sensors have limited applications to concussion diagnosis but may provide sideline staff with estimates of athlete exposure and real - time
data to monitor players.
Data from the sensors were transmitted wirelessly to a computer on the sideline and processed to measure both the linear and rotational
head acceleration resulting from each
impact.
Significantly, the
data showed that reducing the number of
head hits in practice did not, as a later study by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center [4] predicted, lead to higher force
impacts during games.
Once attached to a player's helmet (a hockey version is available now, versions for football, lacrosse, and ski and snowboard helmets will be introduced in 2012) The ShockboxTM sensor measures the G - Force of a hit to the helmet from any direction, and then sends the
data wirelessly via Bluetooth to the athletic trainer, coach or parent's smart phone to alert them when the athlete suffers a traumatic
head impact that may be concussive so they can be removed from the game or practice for evaluation on the sideline using standard concussion assessment tools, such as the Standardized Assessment of Concussion, Sports Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT2) or King - Devick test.
Combined with
data showing that a substantially higher percentage of hits to the helmets of youth players are to the side of the helmet - which the researchers attributed to a differences in the styles of play between the different age groups, as well as the fact that youth players have a tendancy to fall to the side when tackled - these factors may result in a youth player being more susceptible to
impacting his
head on the ground while being tackled than a high school or college player, knowledge, they said, that could aid in the design of better youth - specific football helmets.
