Motorcycle helmet type and the risk of head injury and neck injury during motorcycle collisions in California
2016, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :A Cochrane Collaboration review of motorcycle helmet literature concluded that most studies conducted to date have been suggestive of a neutral or protective helmet effect on neck injury risk, but that higher quality studies are needed to estimate the helmet-neck injury association (Liu et al., 2004). However, a small but frequently referenced group of studies have found some positive association between neck injury and helmet use (Krantz, 1985; Goldstein, 1986; Simpson et al., 1989). The primary goal of this study was to estimate the association of motorcycle helmet type with occurrence of neck injury among adult riders of motorcycles involved in a traffic collision of any injury severity in California, while controlling for potential confounders.
Motorcycle-related spinal injury: Crash characteristics
2012, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :However, there have been mixed findings on the influence of helmets in contributing to spinal injury. Some of the studies suggested that helmets could cause spinal injury especially to the neck or cervical spine (Simpson et al., 1989; Krantz, 1985; Huston and Sears, 1981) but some other studies have found no difference in the incidence of spinal injury between helmeted and unhelmeted motorcyclists (Moskal et al., 2008; O’Connor, 2005; Sauter et al., 2005; van Camp et al., 1998; Rowland et al., 1996; Orsay et al., 1994). Furthermore, Goslar et al. (2008) found that there was no significant association between location of spine fracture and helmet use.
A review of risk factors and patterns of motorcycle injuries
2009, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :There are possible side effects from helmet use. First, there has been speculation as to whether helmet use increases the risk of cervical spinal (cord) injuries in a crash, because injuries to the neck and base of the skull are occasionally found in helmeted riders (Cooter et al., 1988; Goldstein, 1986; Konrad et al., 1996; Krantz, 1985; Simpson et al., 1989). However, those findings were from studies with small sample sizes, lack of comparison group(s), or small numbers of fatal injuries, or they failed to adjust for confounders such as age and alcohol consumption (van Camp et al., 1998).
Maxillofacial trauma with emphasis on soft-tissue injuries in Malaysia
2007, International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Although wearing a crash helmet on a motorcycle has been compulsory since 1973 in Malaysia, there is no specification on the type of helmet to use. Krantz showed that the face was the common impact site in motorcycle RTAs9. A similar pattern of injury was observed in other studies, for example in Taiwan and India where the use of motorcycles is high10,14.
