When describing the mechanism of injury for severe diffuse brain injuries, it has been determined that the primary loading that is occurring involves __________.
A) rotational acceleration
B) rotational deceleration
C) rotational acceleration and deceleration
D) linear compression and decompression

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Severe diffuse brain injuries often result from rotational acceleration and deceleration forces. These forces cause different parts of the brain to move at different speeds, leading to shearing and tearing of brain tissue and axons, which is characteristic of diffuse axonal injury (DAI).
