New data accepted for presentation at the 08 Zurich Conference and now being researched by the U.S. Military links concussion to orthodontic issues. A protocol that diagnoses markers within the temporal mandibular joint and plots a course of correction using an orthodontic retainer like mouth guard has shown great results in the NFL, NHL and NBA. Any rider who is post orthodontic and has a concussion history should be evaluated. http://www.mahercor.com has published data supporting this innovative technology.

I WEAR A HELMET NOW. I DIDNT ALWAYS, BUT THE OLDER I GET THE IMPORTANT I SEE THEM TO BE. I JUST WISH THE JUNIOR HELMETS WERE SMALLER. A FRIEND OF OURS’ DAUGHTER IS 2 Y/O, AND SHE RIDES LEAD LINE ON MY MINI FOR ABOUT 10-15 WHEN SHE VISITS, AND I WANT HER TO LEARN HELMETS ARE IMPORTANT RIGHT FROM THE START. (NOT AFTER SEVERAL FALLS AND HITTING YOUR HEAD, LIKE ME) SO WE MEASURED HER HEAD TO MAKE SURE THE JR HELMET WAS GOING TO FIT HER BEFORE WE ORDERED IT, AND HER SIZE WAS IN THE CHART. THE HELMET’S DIAL IS ALL THE WAY TIGHT AND THE HARNESS IS ADJUSTED UP AS FAR AS IT WILL GO. ITS STILL BARELY LOOSE, BUT IT STAYS ON HER HEAD. I KNOW SHE WILL GROW FAST AND THE FIT WILL BE BETTER SOON, BUT IF THE JR HELMETS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO FIT THESE TODDLERS COULD ADJUST UP A LITTLE SMALLER, MAINLY IN THE HARNESS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. IS IT BAD THAT HER HELMET HAS BARELY A LITTLE BIT OF MOVEMENT? CAUSE IT IS ABLE TO STAY ON HER HEAD. I THINK HER HAVING IT ON IS BETTER THAN NOT AT ALL, RIGHT?
