Examining firearm recoil on neurometabolic changes associated with traumatic brain injury

Does anyone have a copy of this study? Only the abstract is linked ? tx Mike Picchietti Characterization of natural and recoil-induced vibration of an AR-15 rifle at the cheekbone-stock interface: Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics: Vol 30, No 1 Tue, Jul 7, 2020 9:37 pm Mike Picchietti (Picchietti@aol.com) To:you Details https://asa.scitation.org/doi/10.1121/2.0000587

I am very interested to see the outcome of these tests. I have a concern for myself about he effects of recoil as weapon testing forms part of my job. The main weapon I test is shown in the link to a youtube video. The recoil is unconventional when compared to normal weapons. My concern is what would the cumulative effect be, bearing in mind that I fire ca 1500+ rounds per year with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHbqHx3TLBE

Hi Jerry, first I want to say thank you for your donation to this project. I hope to contribute to sport concussion research and current military studies regarding blast wave exposure resulting in TBI. I’m sorry for your experience, during the incident were you shooting a shotgun? If so, what gage? I cannot say for sure if you experienced TBI. If you did, I’d say it was from years of exposure leading up to the incident (this is my personal opinion). I hope my research can help answer your question, along with similar questions many other shooters have! Currently, military research shows blast wave exposure causing TBI, even without symptoms. I recommend clicking the green colored words in the sections of this website, they are links to articles corresponding with the highlighted word. This may help provide answers to your experience! In the meantime, check back to this page for results when the research has been completed (early to mid-January). I will post data and a summary of the results, and whether or not the conclusion is consistent with 1 round of shooting 12 gage shotgun causing TBI. Thank you! I hope this, along with my future results, help solve your case!

I have been a shotgun shooter for 50 years. 4 years ago in Argentina at a dove hunt in extreme volume shooting while shooting I couldn’t pull the trigger and my balance has been gone from then. Many doctors later and no improvement. Could it be TBI? My phone number is(209) 607-7257 thank you!
