COBALT is a trademarked protocol for functional balance testing related to mild traumatic brain injury or better known as concussion. This protocol is performed using Bertec force plate technology. The protocol is designed to stimulate the visual-vestibular and somatosensory systems. The modified COBALT has been developed as a screening tool for clinicians that don’t have access to force plate technology. In the COBALT protocol, the clinician is measuring how many errors the athlete has during each trial or condition, while the force plate measures the amount of sway.
