From the Octagon to the Field: NeckCare’s Role in Concussion Safety | ishook

This study investigates the implementation of NeckCare protocols for incorporation in concussion evaluation of high-contact sports settings like the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) and NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). Although conventional concussion screenings tend to emphasize cognitive and vestibular complaint signs, recent findings indicate the vital role cervical spine function plays in concussion recovery. By including strength of the neck, stability, and sensorimotor control in test protocols, clinicians can more accurately determine risk factors, tailor rehabilitation, and enhance return-to-play judgments of athletes in both combat and collegiate athletics.
