CORE -Clinical Orthopedic Exam 6.4

CORE is a portable expert reference tool designed for diagnosing musculoskeletal and orthopedic disorders. The Clinical Orthopedic Exam offers a comprehensive database of over 400 clinical tests complete with descriptions on how to perform them, video demonstrations, diagnostic properties, and links to supporting medical references.

• TopOrthoApps.com (Mobile App Reviews for Orthopaedic Surgeons - Featured by AAOS) states: "CORE has set the standard for a clinical exam app. The most striking feature of this app, in addition to the vast collection of tests and videos, is actually the “properties” tab. For every test, data is presented regarding the sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio, accuracy, and other relevant statistical tests based on primary literature references. These lists are incredibly complete. This is a feature that I have not seen replicated by any other orthopedic reference."
• Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT), April 2011 (Book Reviews) mentions: "CORE app for the iPhone is a wonderful reference for many clinicians, including but not limited to physical therapists, athletic trainers, orthopedic surgeons, nurses, primary care physicians, and emergency room physicians. The app is user-friendly and easy to navigate."
• iMedicalApps says: “CORE is a great addition to the burgeoning collection of medical applications on the iPhone...If their first application is any indication, it seems we will have more to celebrate in the future. ...excellent application for doing the musculoskeletal portion of the physical exam."

The physical exam is a crucial aspect of the overall evaluation, often involving maneuvers/special tests to evaluate and diagnose patients.
