A biomechanical study of neck strength and impact dynamics on head and neck injury parameters
In summary, the severities and location of impacts had a significant role in GAMBIT and NIC, and the anterolateral eccentric impact had a higher probability of head and neck injury than the other six impact locations. These findings underscore the critical role of impact location and severity in injury risk and suggest helmet padding in lateral and anterolateral zones with energy-absorbing materials to reduce rotational acceleration.
