To inform this issue, the current study quantified head impact exposure, mechanisms and kinematics in female lacrosse using instrumented mouthguards. A female high school varsity lacrosse team of 17 players wore the Stanford Instrumented Mouthguard (MiG) during 14 competitive games. Video footage was reviewed to remove false-positive recordings and verify head impacts, which resulted in a rate of 0.32 head impacts per athlete-exposure. Of the 31 video-confirmed head impacts, 54.8% were identified as stick contacts, 38.7% were player contacts and 6.5% were falls. Stick contacts had the greatest peak head kinematics. The most common impact site was the side of the head (35.5%), followed by the face/jaw (25.8%), forehead (6.5%), and crown (6.5%). Impacts to the face/jaw region of the head had significantly (p < 0.05) greater peak kinematics compared to other regions of the head, which may have resulted from the interaction of the impacting surface, or the lower jaw, and the sensor. The current study provides initial data regarding the frequency, magnitude and site of impacts sustained in female high school lacrosse.

The results indicated that the DPSI was higher in DJL compared to LJL and AJL. Besides, the DPSI score during DJL was higher in NDL indicating lower stabilization capacity associated with a lower H/Q co-activation ratio. A significant correlation was found between H/Q co-activation ratio and DPSI in the DL during AJL (r = −0.57).
