On ACT Head Impact Tracker’s new website we very subtly present a brand new concept to everyone, including ourselves, Impact Feature Space. This is as it really is such a remarkable innovation, which just might be the missing link in unlocking the full potential of head movement measurement in clinical as well as sports specific applications.
Few profound questions the researchers have already started mapping on:
– Why peak kinematically similar events can be very different and produce different outcomes? > There is more to the events than those parameters can tell, and IFS is making that big picture visible.
– Traditional peak kinematic values are classifying sub-concussive events small, but science deem their cumulative effect as very significant to athlete brain health and wellbeing. What are we missing? > IFS paints the whole picture of forces acting in these events, and makes visible something previously unseen.
The peak kinematics only tell one part of the story. Impact Feature Space is painting the full picture of each event occurred, and do it in colors.
It has been an absolute joyride being part of this innovation with ACT Head Impact Tracker – ACT Head Impact Tracker head sensor Pro is the device used to collect the data to make IFS theory, practice and validation. Being able to contribute to something this significant is an honour. Very much looking forward to start the next generation of head movement measurement with Impact Feature Space.
Shout out to all the researchers: you will be playing a critical role in revealing all there is to the events and forces acting on a head, and help to explain what still needs to be explained. Check out www.impactfeaturespace.com and if you got interested, let me know and can get you connected with the inventor to discuss more.
The new era of head movement measurement is starting …. NOW.
