TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Traumatic brain and spinal injuries in a pedestrian struck by an electric scooter JO - CMAJ : Canadian Medical Association journal A1 - Lin, Yuqi A1 - Karthikeyan, Vishwathsen A1 - Cusimano, Michael D. SP - E271 EP - E273 VL - 195 IS - 7 N2 - KEY POINTS Use of electric scooters (e-scooters) has increased dramatically around the world. Motorized vehicles that travel in physical spaces intended for pedestrians pose a threat to pedestrian safety. Clinicians must have a high index of suspicion for potentially serious injuries in e-scooter collisions with pedestrians, given the substantial transfer of energy that can occur. Although e-scooters have beneficial features, policies and interventions to reduce the rate and burden of injuries associated with their use are required.
