thenorthremembers Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Luke Kuechly started wearing it after his concussion issues. I believe Klein picked it up from him while still in Carolina. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 It’s a big thing in the youth club lacrosse scene. Started seeing them here and there last summer. Not exactly sure how they help to prevent concussions, but I know they are very expensive (~$125). This summer they were everywhere. I believe the Premier Lacrosse League was one of their first major sponsors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I didn't realize that the Q collar will prevent concussions when you get hit in the head very hard. It sounds like a great data tool, but it's not preventing anything and I was just messing around. Lighten up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 From FDA on February 26, 2021: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-authorizes-marketing-novel-device-help-protect-athletes-brains-during-head-impacts Quote Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized marketing of a new device intended to be worn around the neck of athletes aged 13 years and older during sports activities to aid in the protection of the brain from the effects associated with repetitive sub-concussive head impacts. The non-invasive device, called Q-Collar, is a C-shaped collar that applies compressive force to the neck and increases blood volume to help reduce movement of the brain within the cranial space which may occur during head impacts. The device may reduce the occurrence of specific changes in the brain that are associated with brain injury. “Today’s action provides an additional piece of protective equipment athletes can wear when playing sports to help protect their brains from the effects of repetitive head impacts while still wearing the personal protective equipment associated with the sport,” said Christopher M. Loftus, M.D., acting director of the Office of Neurological and Physical Medicine Devices in the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 not sure impacting blood flow in a vein by pressure to create more blood in the brain is a good thing? Could that create a clot? But I’m far from a medical professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 They could also combine it with some of the more advanced helmets which have not been approved. Some have suggested that NFL has not allowed them because they are not sponsors hence not getting on approved list. Of course there is resistance from NFL players and NFLPA with the NFLPA saying they are concerned about safety but defend players who have deliberately injured other players; at minimum they should be neutral since the players injured are also members of the union. NFLPA also resisted additional equipment NFL mandated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
