Cutting-Edge Articulated Headform with sensors in and around the TMJ Complex !
Do cheaper mouth guards allow dangerous impact energy levels into the TMJ
and base of skull and brain ? This bio-mechanical testing confirmed this.
1st in 1993, then again in 2005.
2005 Head Drop apparatus with helmet:
Helmeted headform, with salient(movable) lower jaw, dropped from 60 inches
confirms: Impact energy delivered to the facemask, enters the base of skull & brain
via the chin-cup / lower jaw / tmj socket impact energy transfer relationship.
Data collected found significant results:
