Abstract [sv]

Trots att det har utvecklats skyddsutrustning som skyddar hjärnan mot farlig roterande kinematik inom flera områden, finns ännu ingen utrustning som skyddar boxare mot den typen av våld. Syftet med arbetet var att göra olympisk boxning och träning säkrare. Målet var att utveckla en handske som reducerar töjningen i hjärnan med minst 20 %. I det här arbetet utvecklades och testades ett antal boxningshandskar med implementerade glidskikt som skulle reducera töjningen i hjärnan som uppstår när huvudet utsätts för roterande kinematik. Testerna genomfördes med en linear impactor som slog handskarna mot ett testhuvud. Testhuvudet samlade mätdata med hjälp av nio accelerometrar. Två av prototyperna reducerade töjningen med mer än 20 % vid ett eller flera tester men de hade brister i användningsbarhet. Ingen av prototyperna uppfyllde alla mål och därför kan ingen prototyp rekommenderas för vidareutveckling men det kan konstateras att det finns potential i grundidén.

Abstract [en]

Although protective equipment has been developed that protects the brain against dangerous rotating kinematics in several areas, no equipment is yet available to protect boxers against this type of violence. The purpose of this work was to make Olympic boxing and training safer. The goal was to develop a glove that reduces the strain in the brain by at least 20 %. In this work, a number of boxing gloves with implemented sliding layers were developed and tested, which would reduce the strain in the brain that occurs when the head is subjected to rotational kinematics. In the tests a linear impactor was used, which hit the gloves against a test head. The test head collected data using nine accelerometers. Two of the prototypes reduced the strain by more than 20% in one or more tests, but they lacked in usability. None of the prototypes met all objectives and therefore no prototype can be recommended for further development, but it can be stated that there is potential in the basic idea.
