@strowson can you tell me if the STAR Evaluation System was ever reviewed again with newer football helmet models and technology that is now available on the market? Any direction you can point to for further readings? Thanks 👍

Forget the fake Rolex watches sold on street corners. These days, most counterfeits are sold over the Internet, right into your home. n.pr/2xpUzBo

One of my all-time favourite papers. Only 18 citations, so I thought I should share. An MD cracked his knuckles for 50 years — but only for one hand. He concludes by calling into question other parental beliefs … onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

@WillStewNeuro @jennifer_wethe @DrEPieroth @bikeradar That link supports what I’m saying. We looked at data between 2005 and 2010. Most helmets in top performing group didn’t exist then, but we saw differences in what was out there. Link still shows revo performing better than vsr4. Bans helmets based on higher concussion risk.

@WillStewNeuro @jennifer_wethe @DrEPieroth @bikeradar But there is also no real world data showing they don’t reduce risk either. Data that do exist don’t account for differences in exposure to crashes, helmet models, and, importantly, all the people wearing helmets that hit their heads and don’t need medical attention.
