Concussion Warning Apparatus
The present invention is related to detecting possible concussions due to blunt force blows or shocks to the head. In the present invention, areas of the athlete's head are covered with a blunt force blow indicating sheet prior to the possible concussion causing activity and the sheet is examined for indications of blunt force blows that may have caused a concussion. The athlete with indications of possible concussion is then examined to determine if the athlete suffered a concussion. The blunt force blow indicating sheet may be used to line a helmet or headgear used by athletes or the sheet may be shaped like a helmet for use in activities where headgear is not worn. Objects that may be subject to blunt force blows, during for instance shipping, is covered with the sheet to detect if the object experienced a blunt force blow that may have damaged the object.

Detection of Concussion Using Cranial Accelerometry
A system and method for detecting brain concussion includes detecting and measuring of acceleration at one or more points on a subject's head. Sensors, which can be accelerometers placed against the head, detect and measure natural motions of the patient's head due to blood flow in the brain and resultant movement of tissue in the brain. The acceleration data are then analyzed, including as to frequency of motions of the skull at the subject location in a frequency range of about 1 to 20 Hz. An observation is then made, as compared with data corresponding to non-concussion, of a change in frequency response pattern exhibited when accelerations are plotted as a function of time or frequency, to identify probable concussion if the frequency response pattern indicates concussion. Preferably the observation and comparison are made by a computer using an algorithm.
