Design of a portable system for monitoring and analysis of head shocks in helmeted sport practice Purpose: A pilot study was performed to design an electronic monitoring system, to be mounted on the helmet of hockey players, capable of detecting the shocks suffered by the brain during the sport activity, and then analyzing the shocks with a finite element model of the head-brain system developed during the project. Methods and approach: A preliminary bibliographic research was carried out on the clinical point of view of the Traumatic Brain Injuries, on the statistics of head injuries in helmeted sports, on the monitoring devices of this type of injuries existing on the market and on the FEM models of the head-brain system developed over the years.
