Same old same old, nothing new or innovative as a solution.
A medical device used by the N.E Patriots was shut out of the testiimoney.Dr Cantu referenced Boxing, blows to the jaw and the fact that boxers have been the only group linked to CTE. Blows to the jaw may be the link, Why do only some retired NFL playes develop CTE. Boxers wth “Glass Jaw” deveop punch drunk syndrome.makes sense to take a look. Cantu himself has stated, helmets can’t be improved any better.
What is “Glass Jaw” why does it occur and how do you reverse the condition.
A Harvard MGH specialist was offering to explain and talk about Patriot players who had “Glass Jaw” until they were fit with this corrrective device. He recently peer reviewd a study of High School players who have worn the same mouth guard and has written a research recomondation for the U.S. Army paratroopers who have MTBI prior to entering the service, have been found to be more prone, do they have “Glass Jaw”. Somebody take a good look.
