Mayo Clinic

Start Date

Summary

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

Detailed 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.
