TOPIC: The Upper Half of the Rider – Brain Injury in Motorcycle Crashes

In “The Upper Half of the Motorcycle: On the Unity of Rider and Machine”, author Bernt Spiegel elaborates the importance of rider awareness and skill in safe operation of a motorcycle. But what happens to the upper half of the rider – the brain – in a crash? We will briefly review the difference between concussion and more significant brain injuries, as well as impact of injury on everyday activities and expected recovery outcomes. We will also discuss the process of assessing the injury with specific attention given to how the injury may limit engagement in every day social, educational, and vocational activities.
