MMA – INTERNAL HEAD PROTECTION

                    Jaw-Joint Protector                                  upper mouth guard

The Jaw-Joint complex is the most complex, fragile, and arguably the most over-looked, under-protected joint of the human body.  Jaw-Joint damage is permanent.  Cracks in the posterior socket wall(green stick fractures) that align the back of the jaw bones are only 1/6 of an inch thick and do not retain nor return to their natural shape after trauma(lower jaw impacts/impactions). Rather they calcify(harden) after being elongated back towards the base of skull and brain.  Behind this thin socket wall reside major nerves running from the base of the skull to all parts of the body.  An elongated socket permanently interferes with these vital body-controlling nerves as they attempt to communicate to and from the brain and affect muscular strength, balance, and coordination.

The Jaw-Joint Complex(s) are key to competitive success and also key in losing ‘ The Competitive Edge ‘.  They are, unfortunately, the least publicized, and least protected joints of the human anatomy.  And when the head is a legitimate target for success, they must be protected to avoid life-long damage.

Vicks Lacks Mouth Guard When Injured

Published : Tuesday, 20 Sep 2011, 7:09 PM CDT

(NewsCore) – It is believed football mouth guards can help prevent concussions — and video analysis of the Sunday’s Philadelphia-Atlanta game shows Michael Vick was not wearing one when he collided with teammate Todd Herremans and left the game, FOX Sports reported Tuesday.

Vick suffered a concussion and lacerated tongue from the impact – both of which may not have occurred had he been using that piece of protective equipment. The Eagles declined comment through a team spokesman and Vick was not available to comment on whether he was wearing a mouth guard. NFL players are not required to use mouth guards because of pushback from the NFL Players Association about making them mandatory, despite the league’s strong anti-concussion efforts. – end

Wonder if a Brain-Pad(R) Jaw-Joint Protector(TM)  – The only bio-mechanically tested Mouth Guard -

Would have made this play a ‘non-issue’  ?

Eagles QB M. Vick – A “Lower Jaw Impact” Concussion

President/CEO Joseph Manzo reveals more of the mechanics of Eagles QB’s Concussive Injury:

“ Every boxer, martial arts guy, or marine knows the easiest way to take the opponent out is to drive their jaw bone into the base of their skull which throws impact into the brain.  Now once these guys put football helmets on they think they are impervious to all that stuff and they are not.  If you notice, so many of the hits are to the side of the jaw and the facemask …We’ve done testing, drop-testing on the facemask from 60 inches high and the forces that are transmitted through the facemask and through the chin cup and up to the jaw and base of skull are in upwards of 600lbs of force.  That’s enough to take anybody out.  If you notice these hits, so many of them are right to the side of the helmet/facemask – the hit on Macklin, if he was leaning in just a tad more to Robinson, I don’t think you would have seen Macklin for 3 weeks. . . . “

We heard about the Brain Pad from . . .

Hi Vic,

We heard about the Brain Pad from Dr. A. W. Gusenbauer, Oral &  Maxillofacial Surgeon.  My Son David Peter Mainse just a week ago had his wisdom teeth removed and the surgeon recommended he get as soon as possible the Brain Pad for not only concussion prevention but to secure his Jaw while he recovers from wisdom teeth extractions.

Please send the Brain Pad to . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“But the overwhelming majority of the world’s classic second-impact-syndrome cases are people 18 and younger,” Cantu said.

“My son was incredibly healthy,” Kenneth Sheely said. “He trained all summer. This was his senior year; this was going to be his last opportunity to play football. He was passionate about it. He drove himself to try and be as good as can be.”.

Teenagers are known to be more susceptible to having multiple hits to the head result in brain bleeds and massive swelling, a condition known as . . .
