Named customer case studies ## How pro teams, universities, and training facilities use QuickBoard. Named customer case studies, published with each customer's permission. Drawn from interviews with the performance and research staff who run QuickBoard day to day. Pro basketball ### Cleveland Cavaliers Derek Millender, Sports Performance Specialist Before QuickBoard, the staff had no objective way to test and train players. They had leaned on a single agility test but kept seeing inconsistency in how players executed it. QuickBoard gave them objective testing and training for speed, reaction, power, and muscle endurance. The playlist feature lets them pre-program each athlete's profile, and quick setup means they can stimulate the nervous system on game days. "It can be a challenge motivating guys to work on speed and quickness throughout a long NBA season. With the Quick Board's easy setup and instant feedback, I can now stimulate the nervous system on game days using the Quick Board." University research ### University of Memphis Max R. Paquette, PhD, Assistant Professor of Biomechanics, School of Health Studies Paquette uses QuickBoard in a university biomechanics research lab and in coaching. He found it more interactive than the alternatives, with real-time knowledge of results keeping athletes motivated. Stored training sessions in the app make session planning straightforward. He describes QuickBoard as a neural stimulus that many athletes rarely get, useful for priming the nervous system before workouts. "Athletes love using the Quick Board and they are highly motivated. I believe it is an excellent tool to 'prime' the nervous system and it may have positive effects on muscular firing patterns during workouts." Elite sport coaching ### PEAK 31 Abdul Sillah, High Performance Coach and Advisor Before QuickBoard, Sillah relied on cones, hurdles, and ladders, and even built custom equipment that pulled time away from coaching. It was hard to concentrate on athlete movement, pinpoint weakness, and assess rehab progress. With QuickBoard directing the athlete through each exercise, he is free to study movement, make corrections, and film technique, and he can create and customize exercises for each athlete's sport. "It gives me the freedom to study my athletes' movement and make corrections. It also provides me the luxury to be innovative with my athletes at their specific sport." Performance training ### Buckhead Elite Training Studio Beau Lotz, Performance Coach Working with pro, college, and high school athletes, Lotz had only subjective feedback from cones and ladders, and athletes lost focus and watched their feet. QuickBoard gave him objective data and instant feedback that keeps athletes' eyes on the iPad screen. He uses it to measure quickness, coordination, and reaction, and to judge whether post-rehab athletes are ready to return to explosive movement. The save and compare feature and cloud dashboard let athletes track progress over time and against others at the facility. "I deal with a lot of post-rehab athletes and have to bridge them back to training and sport. Quick Board shows me whether they are ready to get back into highly explosive movements or not." Testimonials ## What clinicians and coaches say about QuickBoard. The Quick Board is a game-changer for us. By tracking baseline data, we know if an athlete is trending in the right direction AND if they need more attention in certain areas. We use this for concussion, knee, ankle, hip, core, and shoulder rehab. One of the best pieces of technology to assist in quantifying return to play readiness. Dr. Andrea Davis PT, MS, DPT I have been using the Quick Board for a couple of years now and have not only seen great results, but I have seen patient/athlete cooperation and compliance increase dramatically. Our clinic applies Quick Board for stability and return to function, including returning to weight-bearing symmetry. The Quick Board allows patients to perform and re-educate the nervous system while providing feedback with scores and errors. Overall, the Quick Board makes training athletes and rehabbing patients exciting, competitive, and fun. Dr. Chad Molen DPT, SCS, CSCS, LMT As a pioneer in the exciting new field of visual-cognitive-motor testing and training, I am keenly aware of the role that eye to foot agility, quickness and accuracy plays in athletic success. In my opinion, there is no finer technology than The Quick Board for enhancing or rehabilitating visual-cognitive-motor proficiency. Don Teig O.D., F.A.A.O. Quick Board has played a critical role in developing my pro tennis clients for the last 9 years. It allows me to identify my athletes' weaknesses and address them. Quick Board has exceeded my expectations by increasing my athletes' performance on the court and reducing their injuries. Abdul Sillah High-Performance Coach & Advisor The Quickboard is a tool that provides metrics on how well an individual is performing in multiple movement specific performance categories. It is engaging, challenging and fun for the patients. Technology like this allows physical therapists, coaches and trainers have a better understanding as to how well their patients and athletes doing. There is no guessing, just objective data. Having the Quickboard has been a game changer for my clinic. It has improved outcomes in patient satisfaction and performance and has provided a fun treatment environment. This the future of sports and human performance. Michael St. George PT, DPT Research-supported ## University of Louisville in-season fatigue monitoring. How the University of Louisville soccer program used QuickBoard reaction time tracking across an entire competitive season to catch in-season fatigue that physical testing was missing. Supported by published research (Martin, 2012). Setting ### The University of Louisville soccer program Collegiate athletic department running a full competitive season with an existing physical testing battery (vertical jump, sprint times) administered weekly. Challenge ### Catching in-season fatigue before performance dropped The physical battery was not catching the early signal. Vertical jump and sprint times stayed roughly stable across the season while subjective fatigue and performance dips were showing up in match play. Implementation ### Weekly QuickBoard reaction time tracking Reaction time on the sensor board was added to the weekly testing battery alongside the existing physical tests. Data was tracked across the full competitive season to look for an in-season fatigue signal that the physical-only battery was missing. Outcome ### Reaction time moved with fatigue when vertical jump did not **What this means for your decision:** a fatigue signal you can act on before performance drops. Reaction time on the sensor board tracked with in-season fatigue across the competitive season while vertical jump did not. Documented in published research at the University of Louisville (Martin, 2012). Reaction time can serve as an in-season monitoring metric in addition to the standard physical battery. University and hospital pilot study ## Reactive exercise pilot study with post-stroke patients. An early-stage pilot study, conducted by University of Memphis researchers (Li et al.) and a partnering hospital, that explored a reactive cognitive-motor exercise program for post-stroke patients. Setting ### A university and a partnering hospital The pilot study was run jointly by University of Memphis researchers (Li et al.) and a partnering hospital, working with post-stroke patients. Patients were assigned to a reactive exercise intervention group or a control group. Question ### Can a reactive exercise program support lower-limb recovery after stroke The study set out to explore whether a reactive cognitive-motor exercise program could support lower-limb motor function recovery, including balance and strength, for stroke patients. The authors describe it as a first look at the question rather than a confirmatory trial. Implementation ### Reactive exercise intervention versus control The intervention group followed a reactive exercise program built around external focus, with the visual stimulus and real-time feedback keeping attention on the screen. The control group continued their regular activities during the study period, with no additional organized exercise program. Both groups completed static and dynamic balance testing, strength testing, and stroke assessment measures including the modified Rankin Scale. Findings ### A trend toward improvement **What this means for your decision:** an early signal worth tracking, not a finished case for stroke recovery. The one significant result was on clinical stroke-recovery scores. The QuickBoard reactive-exercise group improved significantly on the modified Rankin Scale, while the control group did not. The balance tests told a different story. Static and dynamic balance testing showed no significant change for either group. On one dynamic-balance subscore, the MXE, the QuickBoard group improved 11.8% versus 6.7% for control. That is a trend, not a significant difference. The study did not measure reaction time, so it makes no reaction-time claim. With only ten patients, this is an early signal, not a finished case. The authors recommend a longer program and further study to confirm the effect. Research finding · Not a customer case ## Strength and conditioning reactive training block. This entry is a published research finding, not a customer-specific case study. Galpin et al. (JSCR 2008) ran a 4-week training block on QuickBoard. Frame matches strength and conditioning facility settings. Setting ### A strength and conditioning facility An S&C training context. Population matching applies. The Galpin finding is appropriate for athletic and S&C settings, not for stroke or neuro populations. Challenge ### Foot speed and reaction time gains in a short training block Athletes plateau on foot speed and reaction time once they have hit the ceiling of traditional ladder and cone work. The question: can a reactive cognitive-motor training block move those metrics inside a 4-week window? Implementation ### 4-week training block on QuickBoard Galpin et al. (JSCR 2008) ran a 4-week reactive training block on QuickBoard. Sessions layered reactive stepping with visual stimulus on the iPad screen, the external-focus training model. Outcome ### 26% foot speed, 19% reaction time improvement **What this means for your decision:** a short, measurable training window you can build into a block and re-test. Galpin et al. (JSCR 2008) reported active adults new to agility training improved foot speed 26% and reaction time 19% after a 4-week block, and the training also transferred to a separate change-of-direction test that was not part of the program: about 0.45 seconds, roughly 7%, off an electronically timed course. The control group did not improve on any of the tests. This is a published research finding, not a customer-specific case. ROI Framework ## How clinicians think about QuickBoard ROI. Hardware plus software subscription against differentiation for the practice or program. PT clinics can also weigh CPT reimbursement. Rates vary by region and payer, so the framework below is directional, not a quote. Hardware ### $2,295 HD or $2,495 HD Pro One-time hardware purchase. Lifetime warranty on the sensor board with active subscription. Customer provides their own iPad (10th gen or later recommended). Software ### $49.99 to $199.99 per month Subscription tier scales with patient or athlete profile count. The board cannot function without an active subscription. Software updates included at no extra cost. Reimbursement (PT clinics) ### CPT 97750, 97530, 97112 CPT 97750 (Physical Performance Test) for the Agility Rating assessment in 15-minute increments. CPT 97530 (Therapeutic Activities) for functional protocol sessions on the 8-minute rule. CPT 97112 (Neuromuscular Re-education) for neuro rehab protocols on the 8-minute rule. Practice differentiation ### Beyond the line items QuickBoard gives the practice an objective cognitive-motor data point that the standard physical battery does not produce. For ACL return-to-sport, in-season fatigue monitoring, or neuro dual-task work, that data point becomes a referrer-facing and patient-facing differentiator. Documentation throughput ### Reports auto-generate as PDFs The Agility Rating Report and Progress Report auto-generate as PDFs and are exported to the clinician's email after each session. For PT clinics, the Agility Rating Report includes the Description and Purpose pre-populated for CPT 97750 billing. Patient notes can reference "see attached." The clinician handles distribution from their own email after the export. FAQ ## Common questions about QuickBoard case studies. ### Are these case studies named or anonymized? + Both. Named customer case studies and testimonials, including pro teams, universities, and training facilities, are published with the customer's permission. Other institutional deployments are shown anonymized, because QuickBoard does not put a customer institution on a public marketing page it has not signed off on. Specific anonymized names are available on request to qualified prospects under NDA. ### Can I get specific clinic references? + Yes. Qualified prospects can request named references under NDA. Request a 15-minute demo and the team will arrange an introduction with a comparable clinic, athletic program, or neuro outpatient setting depending on your context. ### What is the typical ROI on QuickBoard? + ROI varies by setting and by how teams and clinics fit QuickBoard into their existing workflows. The framework: hardware ($2,295 HD or $2,495 HD Pro, lifetime warranty with active subscription) plus software subscription ($49.99 to $199.99 per month based on profile count) against differentiation for the practice or program. PT clinics can also weigh CPT 97750, 97530, and 97112 reimbursement, which varies by payer mix. For ACL return-to-sport screening, in-season monitoring, or neuro dual-task work, that objective cognitive-motor data point becomes a referrer-facing and patient-facing differentiator. ### How long does it take to see results in a clinical setting? + Research findings related to QuickBoard or QuickBoard-style training cover protocol windows of four weeks (Galpin et al. JSCR 2008). An early-stage reactive exercise pilot study with post-stroke patients, conducted by University of Memphis researchers (Li et al.) and a partnering hospital, found a trend toward improvement. In day-to-day clinical practice, clinicians use QuickBoard data from the first session as baseline and then track progression over the rehab episode. ### What is on this page versus what is at /research? + This page presents anonymized real-world case studies plus directional references to published research that supports specific clinical use cases. The /research page is the full peer-reviewed library with fully attributed citations, including leading clinical guidance on neurocognitive and neuromuscular rehabilitation, Chmielewski et al. (IJSPT 2024) on reaction tests and hop tests after ACL reconstruction, and the supporting body of motor learning and dual-task literature. 15-Minute Virtual Demo ## See how a clinic, athletic program, or neuro outpatient setting actually deploys QuickBoard.
