The purpose of this study is investigate player cervical ROM (restrictiveness) wearing different types of BNQ certified neck laceration protectors and to examine player perception of comfort and restrictiveness.

The proposed study is a multi-center prospective cohort study to determine the most effective treatment of patellar instability. The principal investigators have identified surgeons who treat a high volume of patellar instability cases at various centers across the country. Invitations to participate in the study will be extended to these surgeons, along with the original members of the JUPITER study group.
 

The purpose of this investigation is to characterize the genetic and epigenetic characteristics of different musculoskeletal tissues, as well as their associated disease states. Epigenetic markers represent promising therapeutic targets, as well as diagnostic biomarkers with important clinical utility.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a novel training device (TopSpin360) on measures of neck strength as well as cognitive in Junior A ice hockey players.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of (1) non-operative treatment, (2) isolated Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, and (3) ‘à la carte’ surgical approach to treat patellar instability. Enrollment will take place over one year at 12 sports centers. Outcomes would be assessed at 6, 12, 24 and 60 months, including assessment of function, activity level, quality of life and complications.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Synaquell on measures of cognitive function in ice hockey players.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the dietary supplement, Synaquell (TM), for effects on brain function.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the dietary supplement, Synaquell (TM), for effects on brain function in male and female youth contact sport athletes.
