摘要:
A neck brace (10; 110; 210) having a -collar member (12; 212) to be arranged around a wearer's neck, and a rear member (14; 214) extending from the collar member and to be abutted on the wearer's back. The brace comprises pivoting means (37, 38, 40; 276a, 276b, 278, 280a, 280b, 280c) for pivoting the collar member and the rear member relative to each other about a pivoting axis (X; Y) which, when in use, is substantially parallel to the wearer's shoulders.

The disclosure provides neck collar devices and systems for the mitigation and prevention of traumatic brain injury, including concussion. Specifically disclosed are adjustable collars and systems, and collars having certain pressure sensing devices.
摘要:
A neck brace (10) having a collar member (12) to be arranged around a wearer's neck, and a rear member (14) extending from, the collar member (12) and to be abutted on the wearer's back. The brace further comprises releasable fastening means (74, 75, 88a, 88b, 92) for fastening the collar member to the rear member, such that the collar member and the rear member may also be detached.
摘要:
A protective device, in particular of a type suitable for use during sports activities to protect in case of knocks, falls and impacts in general, comprises at least one substantially rigid main protective element, apt to be applied at a region to be protected, at least one substantially rigid ancillary protective element, apt to be applied in a position next to the main protective element and connecting means for connecting the ancillary protective element to the main protective element apt to allow the mutual rotation working as hinge about a main axis. The connecting means comprises deformable connections between the protective elements so that the connecting means allow, besides said rotation, also rotations along axes different from said main axis and/or limited translation motions nearing thereto and/or away therefrom.
摘要:
The invention relates to head or neck supports which support the head or neck in a tilted back position and comprises or includes: a) a harness locatable to the upper body portions of a person, b) a rigid member extending from a region of said harness stabilised in respect of and by the use of the harness relative to the body, wherein, when in use, said harness is attached to the body of a person, said rigid member extending therefrom to provide a support region thereof which when said person is in a substantially upright position, and the head is tilted backwards to allow viewing of an object above the horizontal, said support region comes in contact with at least part of the back of the head and provides at least vertical support to the head.
摘要:
Venous compression in the neck reduced the extent of axonal injury in a standardized mild TBI model in rodents. The mechanism restricted brain venous drainage and increased the central nervous system blood volume and pressure, thus shifting intracranial physiology to the steep part of the volume-compliance curve. The lack of compliance inside the confines of the skull and spinal canal prevented slosh energy absorption and the resultant axonal injury by causing them to approach a more elastic collision when the skull was struck during the weight drop method. A first embodiment can be a device comprising a means to reduce SLOSH energy absorption in a fluid containing organism by reducing the flow of one or more outflow vessels of the cranium by compressing said vessels.
摘要:
A non-collar device and its use for reducing the damaging effects of radiant energy, blast, or concussive events by applying pressure to at least one jugular vein to reduce the egress of blood from the cranial cavity during or before the incidence of the imparting event.
摘要:
A head and neck restraint (10) device for high performance race car drivers, comprising a yoke (20), a collar (60) and a pair of legs (40, 50), the yoke or collar being adapted to pivotably articulate with respect to the legs. At least a portion of each leg can flex in response to force.
