title = "VIDEO VERIFICATION OF AN INSTRUMENTED MOUTHGUARD IN AMERICAN COLLEGIATE MEN'S RUGBY",
abstract = "There are few published studies investigating wearable head impact sensors which focus on rugby. Devices mounted externally on the head can shift or be fully removed during normal play. Investigation into the use of instrumented mouthguards in rugby has recently begun. However, different devices and their associated software have varying reliability in helmeted vs. non-helmeted sports which must be verified. This study implemented the Impact Monitor Mouthguard device in male American collegiate rugby players, and used video-verification to assess the reliability of the device's validity software. We found a Positive Predictive Value of 97.0%, which compares favorably to previously published values for this device. We believe this is the first study to analyze the accuracy of sensor events rejected by the software, which resulted in a Negative Predictive Value of 97.0%.",
