Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify helmet use, head injury risks, and factors affecting these among collegiate equestrians at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Equestrian Sports Medicine Collaborative.
- - Over 50% of participants experienced falls in a year, with concussions being the most reported head injury type; many athletes did not seek medical treatment even after self-reporting concussions.
- - Findings revealed that experienced riders had a lower incidence of head injuries, but a majority (78%) did not follow guidelines to replace helmets after a fall, indicating a potential gap in safety practices.
