This study assessed materials for high school football playing casts. RTV11 and Scotchcast were found to be less hard, while Temper Stick foam improved impact absorption for RTV11 casts.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Returning high school athletes with hand/wrist injuries to play presents challenges.
  • Debate exists regarding playing cast materials for football, balancing protection and performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Determine optimal materials for hand and wrist playing cast construction.
  • Evaluate material hardness and impact absorption for athlete safety.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed material hardness using a Shore durometer.
  • Measured impact absorption with a force platform.
  • Analyzed mechanical properties of various casting materials.

Main Results:

  • RTV11 and Scotchcast demonstrated lower hardness among tested materials.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Temper Stick foam significantly enhanced the impact absorption of RTV11 casts.
  • Identified material properties relevant to playing cast construction.

    • Conclusions:

    • Material selection for playing casts requires balancing hardness for stability and padding for impact absorption.
    • Findings aid sports medicine professionals in choosing appropriate materials for high school football players.
    • Informed material choices can enhance safety and facilitate safe return to play.
