Two innovative new research projects by academics in Trinity College Dublin in collaboration with Leinster Rugby are opening up unique avenues to improve the diagnosis and analysis of concussion in rugby. The research could provide a new system to more accurately identify potential incidences of concussion in rugby, so as to help predict when a player should be removed from play and when they can safely return. Speakers: Physiotherapist, Leinster Rugby, PhD Researcher, Trinity College Dublin, Brendan O'Connell. Assistant Professor in Physiotherapy, Trinity College Dublin, Dr Fiona Wilson. Associate Professor, Trinity Centre for Bioengineering, Trinity College Dublin, Professor Ciaran Simms. http://www.tcd.ie/
