Examining the use of head impact sensors in school sports

(Untersuchung der Nutzung von Sensoren zur Ermittlung von Impact-Kräften am Kopf im Schulsport)

To help researchers and policymakers identify the best ways to prevent concussions among young athletes, Mathematica conducted a pilot project to explore the experiences at two high schools that outfitted athletes with head impact sensors. Head impact sensors are used to measure the g forces athletes sustain during contact in sport. Although these sensors cannot determine whether or not the athlete sustained a concussion, they serve as a promising tool for research.
