For 30 years, the Headmaster Collar has been the collar of choice for people requiring head and neck support as a result of:
ALS
Arthritis
Multiple Sclerosis
Dropped Head Syndrome (DHS)
Radiation Fibrosis Syndrome
Motor Neurone Disease and many conditions resulting in neck muscle weakness
The Headmaster Collar supports the next and distributes the weight of the head after an injury. The extension pad option comes with two pads (collar sold separately) that increase lateral support. The neck pad (collar sold separately) is moldable and offers form-fitting posterior support. Both accessories are used at the back of the neck with the collar.
Appropriate Sizing
The Headmaster Collar is available in sizes ranging from infant to large. Using the perfect size is crucial for an effective and safe recovery. To get the most accurate size, measure from the chin to the corner of the jaw.

A chin pad can be added to the chest portion of the Collar for extra padding if needed.
Use accessories for extra flexion and extension support.
Final Checks
Check that the Collar fits snugly under the chin.
The neckstrap should be around the back of the neck only.
For extra support use the Neck Pad or the Extension Pads (see accessories) to resist extension of the neck.
