I am a Mechanical Engineer studying Biomechanics of traumatic brain injuries. I wanted to know if there is any classification which may aid the diagnosis of brain injuries based on the type of impact.
Is the physics or mechanics or the injury used in diagnosis?
Yes, for example in some sports (e.g. American football) the measurement of linear and angular acceleration through technologies fitted to helmets to identify concussion or mild TBI. There is also a body of research findings since the 1960s concerning the biomechanics involved in TBI, which may be useful to consider.
Concussion injury occur in any kind of head trauma. Not all, but a bundle of neuronal axons are cut by even though small force without resulting in bleeding. Many often Induced by circulating force at upper-cut in boxing. In the other head injuries, this concussion injury is involved associated with temporary disturbance of consciousness.
@Umeo Ito: Thanks a lot but can you tell me about the application of mechanics to the concussion injury-a quantification or classification of the injury on the basis of the mechanics or physics involved.
