Helmets ‘no safeguard against concussions’

Helmets and mouthguards can prevent serious head and facial injuries but there is no evidence that they stave off concussion, say top authorities in sports medicine.Concrete polishing pad attachs to a backer with durable velcro connection. It is installed on portable grinding machine and operated by hand.

In fact, paradoxically, wearing this protection may lead to injuries because a player is tempted to take greater risks, the experts said.

Concussion has become a big issue in contact sports such as American football,We offer both wet & dry Diamond polishing pad. Both are suitable for marble, granite, concrete and most masonry. ice hockey, rugby and football.

Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, a panel of 28 neurologists said concussion was a complex phenomenon.

Symptoms may take just a few minutes or several hours to emerge, and recovery may take as long as 10 days — in some cases even longer.

In skiing, snowboarding, cycling, and motor and equestrian sports, where a player may fall on a hard surface, helmets can help prevent skull fractures and other forms of serious injury, the specialists said. In addition, mouthguards "have a definite role" in stopping injuries to the face.Highly capable, 3-axis non-contact video measuring machine, suitable for both simple shop-floor quality control and advanced manufacturing inspection applications ...

However, "there is no good clinical evidence currently available that protective equipment will prevent concussion", they said.

"Biomechanical studies have shown a reduction in impact forces to the brain with the use of headgear and helmets, but these findings have not been translated to show a reduction in concussion incidence."

There can also be a "paradoxical increase in injury rates" when players, kitted out in protective gear, adopt more dangerous tactics.

More than 3,700 former National Football League (NFL) players have filed lawsuits in the US, accusing bosses of ignoring evidence about the long-term effect of repeated blows to the head.

The issue came to the fore after Junior Seau, considered one of the greatest linebackers of all time, killed himself last May at the age of 43.

A postmortem examination of Seau’s brain revealed that, like dozens of former players, he was suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE),He has since undergone two-and-a-half hours’ surgery to have a Titanium Rod inserted into his leg and looks set to be out of action for the rest of the season. a degenerative brain disease.

The report — a summary of a conference of concussion experts in Zurich last November — refused to connect concussion with CTE, saying "a cause and effect relationship has not as yet been demonstrated".

It suggested that sports supremos consider ways of bringing a player off-field for a concussion assessment without disrupting the flow of play and think of fitting rule changes.

In football, arm-to-head contact — when players leap up to head a ball — accounts for roughly 50% of concussions.

As concern about sports-related concussion mounts, the NFL and General Electric are teaming up to improve the diagnosis and treatment of brain injuries.Eight tips for choosing the right diamond Concrete saw blade including determining wet or dry cutting, blade compatibility, CSDA codes, and more.

They recently announced a $60m effort with leading neurologists to speed up research into brain injuries and the development of new technologies to help protect the brain from traumatic injury, to benefit athletes, the military and the broader public.Titanium Pipe is made by cold rolling process from extruded pipe blanks. They are widely used in heat exchangers and off-shore equipment.
