Description

CORE – Clinical Orthopedic Exam is a new application available for the iPhone which currently tops 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.

This application has a database of over 250 named clinical tests used for orthopaedic and musculoskeletal pathology diagnosis. The criteria for inclusion of a clinical test into the application are:

1) The test must be described/referenced in a peer-reviewed medical journal,
2) The test must be used in the evaluation and diagnosis of musculoskeletal pathology,
3)The test would be performed by the clinician or as part of clinical evaluation (not to include laboratory or diagnostic imaging tests for example).

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!

Anyone in the primary care field seeing patients with musculoskeletal symptoms will find this application invaluable.
