AI Article Synopsis
- United States Special Operations Forces (SOF) often experience explosive blasts during training and combat, which can affect their brain health.
- The understanding of how repeated blast exposure impacts the brain is still lacking, and there is no existing diagnostic test for repeated blast brain injury (rBBI).
- Developing a reliable test for rBBI could enhance SOF brain health, improve combat readiness, and enhance their overall quality of life.
Article Abstract
United States Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel are frequently exposed to explosive blasts in training and combat. However, the effects of repeated blast exposure on the human brain are incompletely understood. Moreover, there is currently no diagnostic test to detect repeated blast brain injury (rBBI). In this "Human Performance Optimization" article, we discuss how the development and implementation of a reliable diagnostic test for rBBI has the potential to promote SOF brain health, combat readiness, and quality of life.
