Abstract

DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY (DAI) is a brain injury characterised by prolonged traumatic coma not due to mass lesions that has dysfunction or structural damage to brain axons. DAI can be produced by inertial loading of the head in a centroidal or non centroidal manner. This paper compares the effect of varying the direction of head movement on the severity of DAI.
