Recent bicycle helmet designs and directions for future research: A comprehensive review from material and structural mechanics aspects
2022, International Journal of Impact EngineeringCitation Excerpt :Despite the popularity of cycling, it often comes with high level of risk. Head injury is the typical one with the greatest concern [8, 9], as it contributes to one-third of treatment in emergency departments and three-quarter of the deaths [10–12]. Particularly, traumatic brain injury (TBI), known as ‘silent epidemic’, can affect human in a delayed manner regarding thinking, emotion, sensation, etc. [13, 14].
Unicycle injuries in the United States
2013, Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :However, interesting comparisons can be made with reports on bicycle injuries. Unlike this study, where the majority of injuries were related to the extremities, bicycle injury research mostly shows a tendency toward head and neck injuries (7−16). In this unicycle study, very few injuries required admission to the hospital, and none of the admitted patients had head or neck injuries.
Bicycle-related maxillofacial injuries: A double-center study
2013, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Instead, no further statistically significant associations were observed between FISS, age, gender, date of injury, and site of fracture. The head is a common site of injury following bicycle accidents, with percentages ranging between 14% and 73.9% of all cycling injuries.1-41 In particular, bicycle-related injuries constitute an important etiological mechanism of maxillofacial fractures, being responsible for 1.1%-18% of all maxillofacial fractures according to the various epidemiological studies (Table VII).
Developmental biomechanics of neck musculature
2013, Journal of BiomechanicsCitation Excerpt :In an effort to ameliorate child safety, helmets and safety systems have been developed to mechanically protect the maturing head and neck. Helmet design aims to protect the skull and brain during an impact and also minimize fatigue and injury to the neck (Friede et al., 1985). Child helmet design has utilized data collected on head dimensions throughout growth and maturation; (Bradtmiller and Shirley, 1995) however, head-to-body allometric relationships throughout development change significantly, where head mass and dimensions may not predict neck muscle ability.
Trends in head injuries associated with mandatory bicycle helmet legislation targeting children and adolescents
2013, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :These estimates were presented within subgroups of activity (bicycling/pedestrians), age group (<13, 13–17, 18+), sex, and urban/non-urban areas. These variables were chosen as studies have suggested differences in bicycling injury risk according to these factors (Friede et al., 1985; Acton et al., 1995; Powell and Tanz, 2000; Macpherson et al., 2004; Berg and Westerling, 2007; Mehan et al., 2009), differences have been found in Alberta bicycle helmet prevalence by these age groups (Karkhaneh et al., 2011a,b) and pedestrians represented our similarly vulnerable road user control group. The data from 2002 were excluded, since legislation was introduced mid-way through the year.
