CORE – Clinical Orthopedic Exam is the new medical application available for the iPhone topping the charts for orthopedic applications…. let’s see why!
Developed by Clinically Relevant Technologies (www.clinicallyrelevant.com), this app looks to deliver what many others are lacking…. more substance and less frills.
What you will find in this app:
- - Almost 250 clinical tests used in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders
- - Instructions on how to perform the test as originally described by the author
- - Video demonstration on how to perform the test
- - Diagnostic utility of the test (in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios, as well as reliability coefficients)
- - Links to PUBMed where you can read the journal abstract and then order the article if you so wish (**ability to order actual articles is not a feature of this app)
Some applications give you a list of tests, some even show picture and videos, but none actually provide the diagnostic categories so that you can put the context of the results into perspective. This application truly promotes evidence-based diagnosis for an evidence-based practice. It’s applicable to medical students, residents, professors, clinicians, and researchers. It is definitely clinically relevant!
AVAILABLE IN THE APP STORE
