Repeated head impacts (RHI)

Repetitive head impacts (RHI) refers to the total number of hits sustained over an athlete's lifetime. This "total mileage" on the brain is the main factor in long-term neurodegeneration. Managing this total exposure is the most effective way to protect future cognitive health.

Bottom Line: RHI is the primary risk factor for chronic brain disease; wearing the Q-Collar consistently may lower the total "wear and tear" sustained during an athlete’s career, protecting their brain for life after sports.

FAQ

The cumulative exposure to concussive and subconcussive hits over time.

Constant stress triggers the buildup of harmful proteins like tau.

It reduces individual hit damage to lower the total cumulative load.
