Cricket Australia Looking At Sensors In Helmets To Measure Force Of Hits To Head

Cricket Australia is looking at installing sensors in helmets to help it "gauge the impact of hits to the head as part of measures aimed at increasing the understanding of concussion in the game," according to Andrew Wu of the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD. CA Sports Medicine & Sports Science Manager Alex Kountouris said that the organization is "in preliminary talks with several IT companies as they look to develop the technology but though the concept is still in its early stages there could be a finished product in two years." The development comes after New South Wales pair Daniel Hughes and Nic Maddinson "were both ruled out of domestic matches after hits to the head in a one-day elimination final on Friday." Kountouris said that testing, both in the lab and with players, "was required to understand the 'complexities' around sensors and the data transmitted." He said, "How much force goes through when they're running between wickets, ducking a bouncer, playing a forward defensive -- the head's moving back and forward. We have to understand what the normal forces are" (SMH, 10/24).
