Traumatic brain injury (TBI)

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in normal brain function caused by an external force. This category ranges from mild concussions to severe injuries involving long-term disability. Most TBIs in sports are caused by "brain slosh," where the brain hits the inside of the skull during rapid acceleration or deceleration. Addressing the physical space inside the skull is the only way to mitigate these internal collisions.

Bottom Line: The Q-Collar addresses the primary mechanical driver of TBI by offering a proactive internal safety solution that stabilizes the brain for both athletes and military personnel.
