so you can get a good representation of what impacts the players have sustained, how hard they get hit and what direction the impact is occurring. mri scan allows us to quantify the myelin in the brain. the myelin sheaht, which is the insulating substance around the nerve fibres in the brain, is damaged after a concussion. it is something that was developed at ubc, so it is not widely available, it is relatively new. sports like rugby have made use of various wearable technologies like mouthguard sensors for some time, but most of the data gathered around concussion in sports has been from male players. as dr izzy moore, who specialises in rugby, explains. actually, we don t have really good data in the women s game. we re almost using the men s game as representative of every other stages of the game. we are getting there with the women s game, but we are lagging miles behind.
