An evaluation of the performance of medical helmets used in healthcare for the protection of vulnerable patients
MH2 and MH3 were the only medical helmets comparable to sports helmets in terms of both comfort and performance. MH1 showed excellent performance metrics but exhibited possible discomfort, while MH4 was above average across both measurement categories. MH4 and MH6 were significantly deficient compared to the sample of helmets. These results highlight the need for standardisation.
