Using Physics to Help Us Better Understand and Prevent Concussions

Disclaimer: Neither of us are medical professionals. This video is meant for the purpose of exploring the physics around concussions, not to provide medical advice on how to completely prevent or recover from a concussion. If you have a concussion, seek professional medical attention.

In this video, I explore the science behind concussions and how physics can help us better understand and hopefully prevent head injuries. Join us as I interview Joe, an expert in physics who explains the mechanics of concussion and the ways in which simple equipment can be used to develop better protection against the likelihood of you experiencing a mild traumatic brain injury. Whether you're an athlete, coach, parent, or simply curious about the science behind head injuries, this video is a must-watch. Gain valuable insights into the latest developments in concussion research and discover how physics can play a critical role in reducing the risk of head injuries in sports and beyond.
