The Cognitive-Motor Protocol Guide for QuickBoard
A free clinical protocol reference for PTs, athletic trainers, and sports performance coaches.
QuickBoard ships with a library of cognitive-motor protocols. The question every clinician asks is which one to run, and when. This guide answers that. It walks through the four core protocol types, maps each to the stage of rehab or training in front of you, and shows how to read the report so you know when to advance and when to hold. It is built for ACL rehabilitation, sports performance, and neuro settings alike. This guide is educational and does not constitute medical advice.
What this guide covers
- 1 The four core protocol types, what each one trains, and when to use it: Go/No-Go for response inhibition, Discrimination for visual choice under load, Stroop for cognitive interference during movement, and reactive stepping with randomized targets.
- 2 A stage-by-stage map of which protocols fit the acute, sub-acute, functional, and return-to-sport stages, plus a sample ACL progression you can adapt to your own caseload.
- 3 The two application tracks: sports performance, where the same protocols deliver in-season training load and reaction development, and neuro rehabilitation, where the dual-task protocols track bilateral symmetry under cognitive load. Plus how to read the report to advance or hold.
"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."
