1. A method for determining an acceleration at a location of interest within one of a user'"'"'s head and neck, comprising:

  • producing at least one of linear acceleration data, angular acceleration data, angular velocity data, and orientation data using at least one sensing device substantially rigidly attached to an ambient-accessible surface of the user'"'"'s head;

    representing the location of interest relative to a position of the at least one sensing device as a time-varying function;

    calculating an acceleration at the location of interest as a function of the data produced at the sensing device and the time-varying function representing the location of interest; and

    providing the calculated acceleration at the location of interest to at least one of the user and an observer in a human-perceptible form.
