Abstract

Due to the high velocity nature of horse racing, when jockeys fall it can result in career-ending and life-altering injuries. Musculoskeletal simulations provide a controlled, non-invasive method for studying injury mechanisms of falling jockeys. Estimating forces experienced by the jockey when impacting the ground is necessary to correctly identify injury mechanisms and design preventative interventions. The aim of this study was to estimate parameters of an equestrian helmet-head-ground contact model, which is a key element to perform realistic predictive simulations in horse racing.
