Concussions and sub-concussive events are caused by rapid head movements, acceleration and deacceleration. These invisible injuring forces must be made visible, objectively measured, tracked, and actionable.
Frequent impacts, bumps, knocks and jolts on a head and on a torso occur in multiple sports. These events may cause head to rapidly move, which makes brain inside the skull rapidly move as well, squeeze, twist and scratch to the skull, and potentially cause damage to the brain. Individual events can cause brain injury, but just as dangerous are the cumulating events, the load to the brain bigger and smaller events cause over time.
You see a bump, a jolt, or a hard fall. It looks normal. But inside, the brain is in a storm.
When the head snaps or twists rapidly *even without a direct hit* the brain moves, squeezes, and can get bruised against the skull itself.
These aren’t just “bell ringers.” They’re real, cumulative events that add up over a season, a career, and a lifetime.
The scary part? **The brain often feels no pain.** An athlete often has no idea damage might be happening. Symptoms can be delayed for days, and the true toll from learning difficulties to long-term degenerative diseases—might not show up for years.
The ACT Tracker helps you protect your most valuable asset:**Your player’s mind and the future.**
Finally, we can make the invisible visible. The mission is simple: to objectively measure, track, and make actionable the forces that cause brain injury.
We’ve been slow to act in our sports because the danger of head or brain injury can be invisible. But what if we could see it?
By understanding the number, magnitude, and frequency of harmful head movements, we can start making real changes
I can call to your team or club and do a demonstration to show you how it works and also answer any questions you may have.
If you are interested in buying the Act Head Impact Tracker, I can do an online video call demonstration for you before you buy.
