Lab Testing

Atlas uses a 3rd party lab in California - keeping us removed from the process. The lab designs & performs the various test scenarios, then provides us with the raw, unbiased data and findings

The goal of lab testing is to work within specific parameters for high accuracy & repeatability. In the case of neck braces, the lab measures force reduction in various brace vs no brace scenarios

Average force reduction with and without an Atlas Brace™ are shown below*
Lower results are better

Atlas Brace Lab testing - Hyperextension Results

Hyperextension

Head backwards/up

Atlas Brace Lab testing - Compression Results

Axial Load

Compression, top of the head

Atlas Brace Lab testing - Hyperflexion Results

Hyperflexion

Head forwards/down

Our goal is to lower the peak forces enough to get below the threshold of severe injury

Our flexion and extension testing also includes compressive forces - Performing tests this way mimics typical real life crash scenarios to provide accurate and meaningful data

While it may not be directly comparable to other brands data, we believe this more stringent approach is the correct method to validate the effectiveness of neck braces

The Head

Testing has also shown force reduction to the head is possible in certain scenarios - as evident from the helmet damage shown here**

Identical tests were performed with and without a brace using two identical brand new helmets

Left - Fractured shell (no brace)
Right - Scuffed paint (with Atlas Brace™)

Atlas Brace Testing Reduced forces to the head

Key Takeaways

Positive Lab Results

Neck braces reduce forces in the lab - Multiple manufacturers have shown this

Positive Real World Results

Real world accident reporting is overwhelmingly in favour of neck braces

Zero Negative Data

20 years and counting - no negative test results or real world statistics have ever been shown

Le laboratoire est utilisé pour effectuer des tests hautement reproductibles pour mesurer la réduction de force.

*Our testing is performed different than other manufacturers, results may not be directly comparable

**Neck braces are not designed or intended to reduce head injuries. Concussions and other serious head injuries do not require crashing, compressive forces, or involvement of the neck brace to occur.
