Overview

This research is being done to investigate the novel neck strengthening device, TopSpin360 and its effectiveness on measures of neck strength and cognitive function.

Description

The neck plays a very important role in head positioning, stabilization, and decrease risk and severity. Neck extension strength measure has been associated with a decrease in concussion risk in male rugby players. Neck muscle characteristics may play a vital role in mitigating head accelerations due to contact thus reducing head impact severity. We hypothesize enhanced neuromuscular characteristics of cervical muscles will decrease brain impairments due to repeated contact.
