New data suggests a corrective oral appliance used to help counteract the boxers "glass jaw" may help in diagnosing why some athletes are prone to jaw related concussion. www.mahercor.com has new published data recognized by the NFL concussion committee head and the pentagon.

Great article and post! Just wanted to point out that there is more parents can do. Axon Sports offers an online tool to provide Baseline cognitive tests. Accounts can be set up and tests taken in 15 minutes or less. Having a current Baseline on file is an important step to safeguard an Athlete. If he/she suffers or is suspected of suffering from a concussion, they can work with their doctor and when ready, go back and take an After Injury test. The two results will be compared to help determine when cognitive abilities have returned the the Baseline performance. This is important because cognitive abilities sometimes lag physicial symptoms by a few days (and much longer for some athletes). You can learn more at axonsports.com
