“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 orthopaedic reference."

“CORE app for the iPhone is a wonderful reference for many clinicians, including, but not limited to, physical therapists, athletic trainers, orthopaedic surgeons, nurses, primary care physicians, and emergency room physicians. The app is user friendly and easy to navigate. The authors have undoubtedly put many hours of work into this application and it shows. I would recommend this to all clinicians who perform orthopedic examinations."
- Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT), April 2011 (Book Reviews)

“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. ....stress how this is a great medical application for primary care physicians. All primary care physicians know how important a strong musculoskeletal physical exam can be, as they are often the first line for presenting symptoms.”

The physical exam is an important part of the overall evaluation, and maneuvers/special tests are often used to evaluate and diagnose the patient.

For almost every musculoskeletal ailment, there is a specific physical maneuver to perform. The results of that test indicate a positive or negative finding, providing a further clue to the diagnosis.

Often, there are several tests for each issue. Some are better for diagnosis than others. That’s where CORE comes to the rescue.

This useful little app contains over 400 medically referenced physical exam maneuvers. All the extremities are covered, as well as the spine. You get step-by-step text and video on how to perform the examination and a quick summary of references for each exam.

CORE is the app you need for making your evidence-based, clinical diagnosis. Check out the CORE features:
* Powerful pocket reference with periodic updates of emerging research
* Almost 250 clinical tests to aid in diagnosis for musculoskeletal and orthopedic disorders
* Covers tendinous, neuropathic, ligamentous problems for each body part

Videos don’t work

Not recommended as videos can be downloaded but not working.

Not working

The application stopped working. No update for 8 months. Don’t buy till an update make it fonctionnal again

Very thorough.

This was recommended by a well respected doc at a continuing education seminar. Worth the money.

OK but disappointing

On the positive side the tests are easy to find and well described and demonstrated. On the negative, we have no discussion content on the tests: ie this test is associated with a C5 nerve root compression. Only that he test can be positive for a non-specific radiculopathy. When we include trigger point referal, any information we gain from these tests becomes very non-specific for a specific diagnosis. This is a general orthopedic testing program at best which leaves me very disappointed because I was expecting better information on testing in more practical terms. Who has time to read through all these statistics. Just give me the short version. A place to write my own notes would be an improvement as well as more specific guide to referal patterns & root level involvement. Suggestions for further testing would also be useful. After all we are paying $40 for what? I can look all these tests up in my orthopedic textbook. Just to be fair, I do see a lot of potential in this program with re-design. I like the layout and ease of searching. I just want the maker to improve this and I would be more than happy to leave a glowing review.

For $40, Needs WiFi to view videos

Great text content on app, as are the other 3 Clinically Relevant Apps I own, but needs Wifi to view videos which is unlike their other apps. Not very usefully for learning and reviewing if not in a WiFi zone, esp. for $40.00! Disappointed, should have read more carefully first, won't have bought it if I knew that was the case. With standalone video, would rate it 5/5 and highly recommend, but only get's a 2/5.
