We compared cycling injury risks of 14 route types and other infrastructure features.We recruited 690 city residents injured while in Toronto or Vancouver, Canada. A case-crossover design at each site to that a randomly selected control from the same trip.Of types, cycle tracks had lowest risk (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.11; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.02, 0.54), about one ninth reference: major streets with parked cars no bike infrastructure. Risks on were lower without OR 0.63; CI...
This study examined the impact of transportation infrastructure at intersection and non-intersection locations on bicycling injury risk.In Vancouver Toronto, we studied adult cyclists who were injured treated a hospital emergency department. A case-crossover design compared control sites within each bicyclist's route. Intersection (N=210) to randomly selected (N=272). Non-intersection (N=478) (N=801).At intersections, types routes meeting influenced safety. Intersections two local streets...
COVID-19 restrictions led to reduced levels of physical activity, increased screen usage, and declines in mental health youth; however, in-depth understandings the experiences high school student-athletes have yet be explored. To describe pandemic on student-athletes’ social connection, health, 20 living Calgary, Alberta participated semi-structured interviews, designed using phenomenography. Participants reported variations connections, which were influenced by stay-at-home weather. Access...
Objective To compare rates of injury and concussion among non-elite (lowest 60% by division play) Bantam (ages 13–14 years) ice hockey leagues that disallow body checking to allow checking. Methods In this 2-year cohort study, players were recruited from where policy allowed in games (Calgary/Edmonton 2014–2015, Edmonton 2015–2016) disallowed (Kelowna/Vancouver Calgary 2015–2016). All game-related injuries resulting medical attention, inability complete a session and/or time loss identified...
Widely varying crash circumstances have been reported for bicycling injuries, likely because of differing populations and environments. We used data from the Bicyclists' Injuries Cycling Environment Study in Vancouver Toronto, Canada, to describe people injured while cycling utilitarian leisure purposes. examined association with route type.Adult cyclists treated a hospital emergency department described their circumstances. These were classified into major categories (collision vs. fall,...
Objective To examine the relationship between cycling injury severity and personal, trip, route crash characteristics. Methods Data from a previous study of risk, conducted in Toronto Vancouver, Canada, were used to classify using four metrics: (1) did not continue trip by bike; (2) transported hospital ambulance; (3) admitted hospital; (4) Canadian Triage Acuity Scale (CTAS). Multiple logistic regression was associations with Results Of 683 adults injured while cycling, 528 their bike, 251...
Children and youths are at a greater risk of concussions than adults, once injured, take longer to recover. A key feature concussion is an increase in functional connectivity, yet it remains unclear how changes connectivity relate the patterns information flow within resting state networks following these brain function. We applied data-driven measure directed effective compare healthy adolescents with subacute during condition. Data from 32 (mean age =16 years) 21 concussed = 15 1 week...
Objectives The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect policy change disallowing body checking in adolescent ice hockey leagues (ages 15–17) on reducing rates injury and concussion. Methods This a prospective cohort study. Players 15–17 years-old were recruited from teams non-elite divisions play (lower 40%–70% by division depending year city where permits or prohibit Alberta British Columbia, Canada (2015–18). A validated surveillance methodology supported baseline, exposure-hours...
The aim of this study was to test an intervention aimed at addressing the risk injury in infants 2 - 12 months age. A non-blinded, randomized controlled trial conducted, whereby parents were randomly assigned either a control or one two groups. Parents completed questionnaires regarding safety behaviours and injuries (baseline), 6 month immunization visit community health unit. During unit, groups received home kit containing nine items, instructional brochure assessment checklist. Subjects...
The aim of this study was to estimate use helmets, lights, and visible clothing among cyclists examine trip personal characteristics associated with their use.Using data from a transportation infrastructure injuries 690 adult in Toronto Vancouver, Canada, we examined the proportion who used bike conspicuous on torso, helmets injury trip. Multiple logistic regression associations between each type safety equipment.Bike lights were least frequently (20% all trips) although they 77% trips at...
Objectives To examine the association between self-reported exposure to concussion education and knowledge, beliefs behaviour among parents coaches of youth ice hockey players. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Community teams from Calgary Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Participants Parents players (ages 11–17, all divisions play). Primary secondary outcome measures completed a questionnaire developed validated measure management (ie, removing athletes play; taking children with suspected...
Objectives To compare rates of injury and concussion among U-15 (ages 13–14 years) ice hockey players playing in leagues allowing body checking, but who have a varying number years checking experience. Methods This 5-year longitudinal cohort included where policy allowed checking. Years experience were classified based on national/local policy. All game-related injuries identified using validated surveillance methodology. Players with suspected referred to study sport medicine physician....
Objective To assess the hypothesis that subjects exposed to intermittent hyperbaric oxygen treatments would recover from signs and symptoms indicative of delayed-onset muscle soreness faster than normoxic air. Design Randomized, double-blinded study with a 4-day treatment protocol. Setting University-based sports medicine clinic. Participants Sixteen sedentary female university students Interventions All performed 300 maximal voluntary eccentric contractions (30 sets 10 repetitions per...
Background. Medical and healthcare professionals report an important gap in their training knowledge on concussion diagnosis management. The Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT) for medical provides evidenced-based resources, representing effort to fill this gap. goal of the current article was summarize describe general uptake 2018 relaunch CATT present results a quality assurance/quality improvement (QA/QI) assessment including qualitative feedback from professionals. Methodology....
The objective of this research was to describe the use and incorrect child restraint systems in Manitoba, Canada. In 2004, a team inspectors made up Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers trained car seat technicians from Manitoba coalition conducted descriptive survey types frequency systems' use. setting 10 roadside inspection sites located around city Winnipeg, Manitoba. subjects were parents primary caregivers children using systems. main outcome measured reported appropriate rate as...
