Thirty-two varsity football players from St. Xavier wore the Q-Collar during the 2015 season and underwent MRIs and EEGs of their brain along with vision testing, while 30 football players from Archbishop Moeller enrolled to do testing with accelerometers in their helmets but did not wear the Q-Collar. Gregory D. Myer, PhD, director of research for the division of sports medicine and the director of the Human Performance Lab at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital conducted the study. Dr. Myer told a source from WCPO 9 that the results from the study have been promising.
Results from the study haven’t been published, but it may soon be published in the next two to three weeks in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
