This was the third time in four years that Warriner and Howey have teamed to win this event at the Port Perry Curling Club. Hockey study shows serious neck injuries may be caused by helmets Dr. Patrick Bishop, sports medicine expert in the University of Waterloo's kinesiology department, has a warning for hockey players of all ages: Keep your heads up! Dr. Bishop's "warning follows a rash of serious neck injuries among teen-aged hockey players during the past year or two. "There have been half a dozen broken necks in the last 18 months -- more than there have been in the pre- vious 30 years,' he says. He's been directed by the Hockey Ontario Develop- ment Committee to study the problem. He is chairing a committee that includes three other UW kinesiology professors -- Drs. Robert Norman, Richard Wells, and Donald Ranney, as well as Dr. Greg McNeice, a civil engineering professor with expertise in the area of stress analysis. The committee members" are looking for potential causes of neck injuries and are beginning their investi- gation by examining the "influence of the helmet and face mask on the dynamics of a hockey player's neck. "Helmets were designed to prevent head injuries and face masks were designed to prevent facial injuries, but neither was designed to prevent neck injuries," Dr. Bishop says. "At the same time, no testing has ever 'been done relating to the effect of helmets on hockey players' necks." Some people feel helmets and face masks tend to change a player's head orientation ... causing a player to carry the head in a more forward position. It may be, Dr. Bishop suggests, that some young- sters have trouble keeping their heads up because of the weight of the equipment (helmets and masks) and this may especially be the case when young players begin to tire. "By and large, most play- ers seem to skate with their heads up. Possible the answer will be to get young players to strengthen their neck muscles through special exercises, and to be particularly cautious when they start to feel they are tiring," Dr. Bishop says. However, the problem of serious neck injuries has so far been confined to players in older age groups (17 to 21) and for this reason Dr. Bishop feels other factors may be contributing to their cause. Some individuals 'and groups have been promoting the use of neck braces as a possible solution to the prob- lem, but Dr. Bishop says he isn't confident these devices would make any difference. 'Neck braces are fine when it comes to keeping the neck fron snapping back," he says, "that is, from suffering hyperextension or whiplash. But these broken necks are not being caused by hyperextension. Rather they are being caused by flexion or hyperflexion, which tends to straighten out the normal curve of the neck, making it very vulnerable to axial and shear loads when the head strikes the boards, or when it strikes another player." He worries that neck braces might actually con- tribute to this sort of injury because they may force the neck into a flexed positon, rendering the wearer vulnerable, In their initial studies, Dr. Bishop and his colleagues are looking into the extent to which wearing hockey helmets and face masks pushes players' heads for- ward ... that is, the locdtion of the mass centre of a player's head when he or she wears a helmet and face mask. A second stage will involve the use of a crash dummy, developed for the automobile industry and recently arrived on the UW campus, through which the UW re- searchers will be able to measure the impact on the neck of a variety of hockey accidents. The stresses will be measured at various points within the dummy. A third stage will involve scaling down the measure- ments obtained through the use of the crash dummy to child size. Dr. Bishop says if the re- search indicates helmets and face masks are actually con- tributing to the rash of neck injuries among young players, changes will have to be made. He feels strongly, however, that there is one additional point which should not be overlooked. "It seems to me players have bcome totally fearless because of all the protective equipment they're wearing these days, and they're taking chances players in an earlier time wouldn't dream of," he says. "So it may be a matter of teaching our youngsters that they cannot play with impunity, no matter how well protected they think they are." Or, he suggests, the fault may be found to lie with the aggressive attitudes of minor league coaches, administrators, referees and even parents, who have been urging youngsters to take risks beyond their capabilities. 15 pieces of Golden Chicken only $ FRIDAYS SATURDAYS SUNDAYS JANUARY & FEBRUARY ONLY TRY OUR "NEW" MENU ITEMS: *Mashed Potatoes & Gravy *Hot Chicken Soup 136 WATER STREET - PORT PERRY 985-9009 NE EES NS AXE SCRA Pe
