No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to establish and validate age-based head kinematics, force-strain models and brain injury probability maps from sensor worn data during soccer heading tasks. 40 youth soccer players will be recruited from the Madison, WI area and can expect to be on study for 2 months.

Conditions

  • Brain Injuries

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Header Session

Participant fit with commercially available Storelli ExoShield Head Guard that has been fit with head impact sensors; participant completes a set of basic standing header tasks which mimic the types of purposeful heading anticipated to occur in actual play in soccer practice and games.

PROCEDURE

MRI Session

Scanning will include high resolution T1w imaging for 3-dimensional structural analyses, DTI and resting-state MRI for assessment of structural and functional brain network connectivity, as well as susceptibility-weighted imaging and multicomponent relaxometry to assess for microhemorrhages and myelin damage.
