Head injuries in cricket, an assessment and analysis of their causes and prevention

体育运动中的脑损伤问题已经变得越来越重要，因为提高了诊断水平，媒体的高调报道提高了人们的意识。板球是一项运动，参与者，特别是最高水平的参与者，面临着头部和大脑损伤的风险。在这项运动中，医疗专业人员已经开展了大量工作，在运动员头部撞击恢复之前和恢复期间对其进行评估和诊断，但仍然缺乏将所受撞击的细节与受伤和随后的症状联系起来的知识。该项目将寻求开发和研究基于实验室的方法来复制已知的头部损伤，并探索先进测量方法的潜力，从而更详细地了解脑损伤的原因。

The issue of brain injury in sport has grown in significance due to improved diagnosis and heightened awareness brought about by high profile media coverage. Cricket is a sport where participants, especially at the highest level, are exposed to risk of head and brain injury. Significant work has been undertaken by medical professionals within the sport to assess and diagnose players both prior to and during recovery from head impacts, but there remains an absence of knowledge to connect the details of the impact received with the injury and subsequent symptoms.This project will seek to develop and investigate laboratory based methods to replicate known head injuries and explore the potential for advanced measurements that can progress understanding of the causes of brain injury in more detail.
