Cognitive Baseline Testing provides a snapshot of an athlete's brain speed and accuracy and helps determine if an athlete has suffered a concussion. Wearing a custom-fit Defender Mouthguard provides the best defense against sports-related dental injury and mandibular (lower jaw) impact.
"With concussions on the rise, it is critical that athletes of all levels have access to cognitive Baseline testing as a vital procedure for concussion management and optimal health care," said Joe Pipolo, founder of Defender Mouthguards. "As a leading sports safety equipment company, the safety and health of our customers comes first. Our C.A.M.P. program gets athletes, their parents, doctors and team coaches involved in safeguarding the integrity of each player's health."
Through Defender C.A.M.P., anyone who purchases a Defender Mouthguard will also receive a voucher for a cognitive Baseline Test through Axon Sports. "We have made it easier and more convenient than ever by partnering with Axon Sports to provide these important tests to our athletes," said Pipolo.
