Can tackle height influence head injury assessment risk in elite rugby union?
Simms, Ciaran (2018) -
Characteristics of cyclist collisions in Ireland: Analysis of a self-reported survey
Simms, Ciaran; Gildea, Kevin (2021)As both a utility mode of transport and recreational activity, cycling has well-known health, environmental, and economic benefits. For these reasons it has been encouraged in many countries, including the Republic of ... -
Does ball carrier technique influence tackler head injury assessment risk in elite rugby union?
Simms, Ciaran (2019)The aim of this study was to use video evidence of tackles in elite level rugby union to identify ball carrier proficiency characteristics, for both lower and upper body tackles, that have a higher propensity to result in ... -
Non-collision injuries in urban buses: strategies for prevention
O'Neill, Desmond; Simms, Ciaran (2009)Public transport is a potentially important part of independent living for older people, but they are over-represented in non-collision bus injuries. This paper reports on a computational modelling approach to addressing ... -
Pedestrian Risk from Cars and Sport Utility Vehicles - A Comparative Analytical Study
Simms, Ciaran (2006)Analysis of real-world crash data from the USA shows that 11.5 per cent of pedestrians struck by large sport utility vehicles (SUVs) are killed, compared with 4.5 per cent of pedestrians struck by passenger cars. The ... -
The predictive capacity of the MADYMO ellipsoid pedestrian model for pedestrian ground contact kinematics and injury evaluation
Simms, Ciaran (2021)Pedestrian injuries occur in both the primary vehicle contact and the subsequent ground contact. Currently, no ground contact countermeasures have been implemented and no pedestrian model has been validated for ground ... -
Predictive capacity of the MADYMO Multibody human body model applied to head kinematics during rugby union tackles
Simms, Ciaran (MDPI - Applied Sciences, 2019)Multibody models have not yet been evaluated for reconstructing head kinematics during sports impacts. Accordingly, the goal of this study was to utilise whole-body motion data from twenty upper and mid/lower trunk rugby ... -
A Structural Model of Passive Skeletal Muscle shows Two Reinforcement Processes in Resisting Deformation
Simms, Ciaran (2013)Passive skeletal muscle derives its structural response from the combination of the titin filaments in the muscle fibres, the collagen fibres in the connective tissue and incompressibility due to the high fluid content. ... -
A Systematic Review of the Educational Effectiveness of Simulation Used in Open Surgery
Simms, Ciaran (2019)The role of simulation to teach and access open surgical skills has become more prevalent in recent years. This systematic review synthesizes the totality of evidence with respect to the educational effectiveness of ...
