Краткое описание

The latest volume of this popular ASTM series provides 21peer-reviewed papers covering the latest information on skiingtrauma and safety.

Topics cover:

Epidemiology—several studies evaluated the prevalence andincidence of various alpine skiing injuries in several areas aroundthe world, including the United States, France, Norway, Australiaand Germany. Specific topics evaluated included lower legfractures, the relationship of helmets to the patterns of injuriesthat lead to death in alpine skiing accidents, and kneeinjuries.

Head Injuries—using an anthropometric testing device, twopapers evaluate the influence of helmets in pediatric head and neckinjuries and the kinematics of a snowboard fall.

Snow Sports Equipment—deals with injury rates related toreleasable snowboard bindings, a computer simulation of consecutiveski turns, and a novel anti-slip pad for improving steering whenexiting a ski lift on a snowboard.

Miscellaneous Topics—the remaining papers include athree-part study to evaluate the premise that ACL injury in alpineskiing more frequently occurs to the left side than the right,assessment and identification of the functional constraints ofyoung skiers as they recover from skiing accidents, evaluation ofobjective measurement as a tool to assess and enhance visibility onpoorly-lit runs, and computer simulations based on takeoff velocityto suggest guidelines for a design of the kicker used in thesejumps.
