SUMMARY:

We will have Stephen Wagner from Portland Oregon to discuss the potential for injury during low-severity crashes and a possible fix for the problem for some patients.

OUTLINE:

• Head accelerometer data from human crash testing in 3-5mph delta-V crashes
  
• Probability of these causing brain injury
• 5-8 cases of real world minimal visible damage crashes
• Several of them have EDR data (or lack of)
• All of these cases were diagnosed as having concussions with persistent symptoms (post-concussion syndrome) or mild traumatic brain injuries
• Biomechanics of the spine and factors that are often overlooked.
  
• Why it is unlikely that they suffered an actual brain injury
• What may be a better explanation of the cause of their symptom.

NOTE: This presentation will be recorded, and placed in the Reference Library.
