Estimated Brain Tissue Response Following Impacts Associated With and Without Diagnosed Concussion
Kinematic measurements of head impacts are sensitive to sports concussion, but not highly specific. One potential reason is these measures reflect input conditions only and may have varying degrees of correlat...
