The Pro-Neck-Tor (PNT) helmet was developed to reduce the incidence of cervical spine injuries during head-first impacts. It consists of an inner- and outer-shell that are connected by an internal guide mechanism. In an impact the mechanism deploys and guides the inner shell and head relati...

4 slight bends called normal curves when spine is viewed from sideview. Relative to the front of the body, the CERVICAL (neck area) and LUMBAR (lower back) curves are convex (bulging out) and the THORACIC (mid-back) and SACRAL (tailbone) curves are concave. The curves help with:STRENGT...
