Injury Reduction Baseball Base Design
PúblicoConteúdo disponível para baixar
open in viewerThe goal of this project was to reduce the occurrence of sliding injuries in baseball and softball. Through the literature review, it was discovered that effective countermeasures do exist, and would save an estimated $2 billion annually in injury related costs, but are underused due to a variety of factors, including impracticality, cost, and negative impact on gameplay. Axiomatic design principles were used to generate the best solution for this problem. Through this approach, a base for softball and baseball was developed which will absorb injurious loads only under certain conditions, improving the bases adoption.
