Welcome to the home of the Halo-One, produced by Pro-Tech Armor. The Halo-One is an impact detection device, designed to instantly measure the impact of external force to the head and neck area of the person wearing the device.

Motorcross: Concussions Most Likely
to go Unreported, Untreated

"When you race motorcycles on a dirt track at 40 or 50 miles an hour, fly dozens of feet into the air, and are involved in multivehicle crashes, the potential for serious injury is high," says Amy L. McIntosh, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Of all injuries, concussions are the most likely to go unreported and untreated.

Detecting Impact Permits Intervention

In the March 2012 Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine, Dr. Richard M. Greenwald, PhD of the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College,states: "The identification of a potentially injurious impact or series of impacts via real-time monitoring of head impact exposure in athletes may [not only] facilitate the early recognition and management of brain injury in helmeted sports," says Greenwald, but "permit early intervention, potentially in advance of an injury, rather than simply as a management tool post injury."

What is a Concussion?

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way your brain normally works. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head to move rapidly back and forth. Even a ding, or what seems to be mild bump or blow to the head can be serious.
-The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

What are Symptoms of Concussions?

Concussions effect everyone differently, but common symptoms include headache, neck pain, nausea, ringing in ears, dizziness & fatigue. Feeling dazed or not "your normal self" for several days or weeks after the injury is also common. In more serious cases, seizures, trouble walking and sleeplessness may occur.
