Cathedral Catholic High School Rigby Team Goes to Ireland

Cathedral Catholic Rugby Team

We are happy to share that a team we sponsor here in San Diego will be going to northern Ireland to compete! Cathedral is led by No. 8 Drew Gaffney and High School All American prop Aaron Mitchell. Along with them are some players who are consistently improving, flanker/hooker Pat Lafontaine, hooker Brad Stiehl, and captain and flanker Alex Barton among them. Prop Joey Kuperman and the brother center pairing of Xavier Ulutu and Chris Moliga are a handful, too."

Every day, athletes of all ages are exposed to strong impacts.   Players can run into other players, hit turf, a wave, a wall- you name it. Unfortunately many impacts, like head impacts, don't have clear symptoms or are as easy to notice like broken bones.

Sensors Designed to Measure Head Impacts in Sports

 

The CDC estimates that 1.6-3.8 Million sports and recreation related concussions occur each year in the U.S. It is believed that up to as many as 20% of HS football players experience a concussion in a given year. ROSH Impact Sensor technology, can eliminate the hesitation in returning a player that has received a jolt or hit to the head from playing further, after examining the sensors in the wearable head band.

ROSH and the research and development of a revolutionary product that is less cumbersome, offers real time results on whether an athlete with a shock to the head or great impact, should continue playing in the game and further seek medical attention.

Professors and parents of high school athletes Marcos Dantus and Gary Blanchard set out to design an all-sports head impact sensor that would provide peace of mind to parents of young athletes. The goal being an affordable high-quality headband or cap with sensors that are simple to read, and provide objective information for return-to-play decisions. The elegant solution provides simplicity and reliability without easy-to-break electronics.

Head Impact Sensors for Concussions

Why ROSH Head Impact Sensors Work

An increasing number of head impact sensor products in this rapidly evolving field are already on, or about to come to, the market. ROSH sensors are lightweight and slim-profile sensors that permanently record impact magnitude and location. The US Patent Pending design makes this amazing band a jolt and hit reader, without all of the uncomfortable electronic nuances.

How Head Impact Sensors Avoid Long Term Unnoticed Brain Damage 

While ROSH Sensors do not prevent concussions and are not diagnostic.They can record the magnitude and location of a blow to the head. This information can be of importance as an extension of the clinical evaluation.

The CDC estimates that 1.6-3.8 Million sports and recreation related concussions occur each year in the U.S.It is believed that up to as many as 20% of HS Football players experience a concussion in a given year.

Recently, impact sensors measuring the forces which, when transmitted to the brain, cause sports-related concussions were only used by scientists in conducting research. However, in the the last several years, there have been a growing number of companies to introduce to the consumer market the first generation of impact sensors intended for real time monitoring of impacts to the heads of athletes in actual games and practices.
