“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."
- TopOrthoApps.com (Mobile App Reviews for Orthopaedic Surgeons - Featured by AAOS)

******
“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.”
- iMedicalApps

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
* Descriptions on how to perform each test
* Video demonstrations (streaming and with audio)
* Diagnostic properties (reliability and validity)
* Links to supporting medical references
* Reference reviews via abstracts in PUBMed
* Free updates when new tests are available in the literature, or new studies with diagnostic properties for old tests are published (No need to “buy a newer edition”)
* Now optimized for iPad!
* Please note that STREAMING VIDEOS AND PUBMED REFERENCE REVIEW REQUIRE AN ACTIVE NETWORK CONNECTION. You can download all the videos on your device to use independent of network connection.

Good, but incomplete. This application's features are really, really nice. Everything it claims to do, it does well, and quickly. Unfortunately, it is missing a lot exams, and is therefore limited in its usefulness. Suggestion: take an orthopedic examination reference text (like Evans, for instance) and fill out the application with these examinations, using the literature reviews referenced within the text or texts. The application could then easily be updated as newer research is published or otherwise made available. At this point, I wouldn't say the app is worth the $40 purchase price simply due the issue outlined above. $5.99 is reasonable for the video download, however. Here's to hoping the app gets a significant content upgrade. Again, the interface is very good, no need to change that too much.

Locks up. Has been a great app for years. Now just locks up when selecting a test. Even tried deleting and reloading the app.

At the moment, I'd say a little overpriced. 3 stars because the videos don't stay downloaded on my iPad. I've redownloaded them multiple times sometimes they stay and sometimes they show up as needing to be downloaded again. Also, it would be great if it had some common treatment techniques for common pathologies (such as hip MWM for hip OA patients) Will give 4 stars when my videos stay downloaded. 5 stars if they begin to add some treatment approaches!

Do not recommend. I purchased the CORE app 2 weeks ago. Had a problem with the mobile website, contacted the developer of the app, and received with timely response. Like the links to videos for each of the tests.

App problems. Used to work great but not working anymore

Good app. The only thing I did not like with this app is when updating, it loses all the video and you have to redownload. The update also made the video soundless. Other than that, a must have app. For ortho cases.

Great application for the Sports Medicine/Orthopaedic Surgeon. Great application for the Sports medicine oriented Physician or P.A. Clear, concise instructions on performing the tests, and linked video demonstrations. Fabulous. Great reference tool to make sure you are performing the test as originally described. Only medical application that I have purchased, that is actually worth it. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you. Thank you very much! worth it!

So So!. Got it when it was free. Extensive documentation but not a lot of substance or videos.

Wow, it's got it all!. This app is really handy. I'm a PT student about to start an orthopedic clinical rotation and I can tell I'm going to use it frequently. I was waiting for an app like this to come out and it was perfect timing. All those special tests I learned are easily accessible in an intuitive format. There's even new material that I haven't seen before - really cool. The videos work great and all the test explanations are easy to read and up to date with current practice. I'm so pumped about being able to whip this out right before seeing a patient so I'm sure of what to do and how to do it.

PLEASE FIX. Used to be an amazingly helpful app. Now like everyone else, it will not open. This needs to be fixed. This is unacceptable for a paid product that is being kept active on the App Store. Either fix the issue or this will be reported and the app will be removed as inactive and refunds should be given.

awesome EBM app!. This is a great app! It very intuitively organized via a body chart, it includes instructions and videos of a ton of special tests, and even includes psychometric properties of the various tests based on current research. Evidenced based apps like this are likely the wave of the future in medicine....

The App is completely empty.... Bought this app today for $40. I have used it before through another clinician and I loved the app; however, I am extremely disappointed right now. The entire app in empty. There is absolutely no content within the app, and despite removing and reinstalling the app, there is still no content. Please fix ASAP.

Server error. The app is helpful but as of last week, the app has not be functioning. I click in the app but it shuts down and I’m unable to use it. There is a CRTech server error. Can you help?

Wont open. I used to love this app for learning throughout my Masters program. For the past 3(ish) months it has not been able to open, which is really frustrating.

A must have resource!. wow... what a time saver! nice to have on you in the clinic when you want a quick refresher on a technique, diagnostic values, or the research. My colleagues look to me as the go to guy for their random ortho questions. This app has helped me and many others!

Great User Friendly Clinical Tool. I recently purchased Clinical Orthopeadic Exam and found it incredibly useful. For the time sensitive evidence based world we practice in it helps keep me on track when faced with challenging patient evaluations. It gives me the most clinically relevant information up front, citing examination test techniques with known sensitivity and specificity values, clear and concise instructions, references and even a video. Navigating through the APP is very intuitive as well. Over all a must have for every clinician and student.

Won’t open. Went to open the app and nothing will work-paid a lot for this app and expect it to work.

Anatomy anyone?. I was a licensed PT for 2 years and I am currently a medical student. I bought this app today because of a patient presenting with vague new onset ankle sxs without instability. Thinking of the posterior tibialis tendon I looked it up on CORE which had a special test for the PTT. The purpose section states that the PTT runs posteriorally to the lateral malleolous... As my first encounter with this app yielded false information regarding ANATOMY, I am pursuing a full refund ASAP. I am not saying there is no value to the information provided in this app, but I cannot trust an app that cannot get the fundamentals correct and I don't think any clinician should. Besides all "clinically relevant technology" videos are on you tube.

Awsome. Awesome App!!! There is a ton of information here and the videos are great. I would highly recommend this App to everyone. The App is very intuitive and easy to navigate. I also found the videos quickly load and are easy to follow. This App is not only great for students and professionals alike but anyone interested in the human body. A+++++

Will not open. This app is very useful in the classroom and in the clinic when it is working. However, it has not been opening for me lately.

Bad deal. Got this app on ipad,works great,iphone 5,complet opposite,cant open videos i bought can t rotate the screen,all videos just disapear from menu every time i turn it on so i have to download them again and again. Cant watch videos without wifi,even after paying extra money for that.

Wonder for Manual Therapists. I've used this app to stay current on orthopedic exams and love how it links to the primary articles in PubMed. Also, I've used this app in an educational setting and the videos add a lot to students' understanding. Love it!

Will not open - are you going to fix?. Will not open, up till now it was a great program.

Need put in some pictures. The app needs internet connecttion to watch videos. Only text without internet. I think some additional pictures that make it better since It costs so high!

Could be better. Only thing I would like is for the app to show sensitivity and specificity and predictive value.

ortho resident. I thought this was terribly overpriced. I’m pretty frustrated I spent so much on an app that I have found little to no benefit out of. It seems every time I wanted to use it it needed to update the database and would just spin the apple wheel until I lost patience and switched it off. The app is a good idea its just not worth the price. $3 - $5 range would be more appropriate.

Great Buy!. This app covers it all for clinical testing of musculoskeletal system. Easy to use format along with the videos helps the busy clinican to access relevant evidence based tests to plan an evaluation to give you the most bang for the limited time you have with patients. It is very nice to have the it all in an easy package. Leslie Hair, PT, DSc, OCS, FAAOMPT

Doesn’t work. Does everyone get their money back since this previously awesome app no longer will even open?

Steven Wilkinson, PT, PhD. This is a great app. I teach physical therapy students and will recommend it to my students. The videos are a nice addition and very helpful. Most importantly is the evidence that is provided with each test. This app is useful to all from novice to expert. I whole-heartedly recommend it.

Wont open. Have been using CORE for a few years but not recently. Just tried to open and like similar comments, program opens splash page but then shuts down. HELP make this useful again pleas.

Simply amazing. This app. has all the necessary information that I need in the clinic considering this format. I love the links to videos. A must-have for all involved in ortho EBP!!!!

App not working. What’s going on with the App?? Not working

Wont open. Would give a zero..hasnt been able to use this app for some time now. Are you guys going to fix this issue?

Unable to open. Like others have stated, I have used this app for years, but attempted to open today during a CCU course and was unable to open, multiple times.

Excellent resource. CORE is an excellent resource for those that see a variety of clinical scenarios. The easy access via my phone, choose from body schematic, clear test summary and visual resources are well integrated. I could see CORE useful to clinicians, students, and others in outpatient and other practice settings. Great job!

DMKidDoc. This is an excellent tool for students, residents and physicians in practice. I am a practicing pediatrician, so I don't perform these exams every day. It is so helpful to review the proper exam technique as well as the evidence in the literature to help interpret exam findings. This is one of only a small handful of medical apps that is actually relevant to daily practice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Problems. This used to be very helpful. Currently the app will not open. Would love to be able to use it again.

Must Have. FYI - I use this app on my iPhone. If you are a medical professional with a smart phone who treats patients with orthopedic conditions, you will love this app. It is a concise, user-friendly application that provides detailed information about diagnostic special tests. The links to information on the tests' psychometric properties and the videos on how to perform the tests are what really make this app fantastic. There's no more wondering how good a special test is or if you're doing it the right way. With this app, you will have that information in the palm of your hand. I have shown this app to all of my colleagues who have all been blown away at the detailed information you get. If you are concerned about the price, consider the cost equivalent to purchasing a text. However, textbooks are cumbersome, outdated, and more expensive. This app will provide you better and more up-to-date information. Jason Rodeghero PT, DPT, OCS, MTC, ATC, FAAOMPT

Excellent Clinical Resource. Excellent clinical tool for discerning appropriate tests and measures in the clinic or reviewing outside. There is good structural organization by body region and clinical categories. Comprehensive explanations are provided via text and high quality demonstrative videos are linked. Supportive literature is provided for each test when available and evidence based tutorials and keys are provided for the novice EBP clinician. The number of tests can be a bit overwhelming, however, with minimal effort at looking at the available properties it is easy to select the most valuable procedures. There is an easy favorite tag feature to short-cup to commonly used tests or ones of special interest. Excellent resource for any clinician working with musculoskeletal complaints at all levels. Tom Denninger, PT, DPT

PT, DPT. Absolutely Great App! I purchased 1 month ago and reference it several times a week. Excellent organization, this app will benefit anyone who performs muskuloskeletal exams.

Great app. I found that this is a great app that has a lot of utility and is easy to use. It can be usefull to the begining clinician and also a seasoned clnician that may not treat a certain area that often, like the hand. Also being in an evidenced based format makes it easier to know you are using reliable test without having to look it up somewhere else.

Waste of money. I've never spent this much money on an app before, but after reading the great reviews decided to go for it. All of the maneuvers are on You Tube. So just search for CRTechnologies and save yourself $40. As a primary care provider, I personally think there are way too many maneuvers to sort through. There are so many tests to sort through without much direction to quickly decide which are best for your patient. If there were some sort of algorithm for quickly figuring out which special tests to perform if a patient has say neck pain radiating down the arm with numbness, that would be more relevant to me. If you are an orthopedic specialist and have extra cash to spend for a slightly more organized version of what you can find for free on You Tube, then go for it. Otherwise, save your money.

core. Great app. Evidenced based information provided on each test is especially helpful.

Unable to open app. I paid for this & when I click to open error comes up & I cannot open to use

Nice tool. Great program! Very user friendly! Will be even nicer when its optimized for the iPad! Please update soon and I will use even more often on my iPad!!

App will not download. Attempted to download app, but it is unresponsive and states Unable to connect to CRTech server.

Easy to use reference for clinicians. Most clinicians will already have their go to tests down, but this app has all of those and then some. This is a wonderful application for new clinicians to review the tests on the go as well as for students studying for the boards. This application gives the situations for when to best use the tests as well as evidence behind the tests. There are even videos to look at to review. Great app!

Delete and redownload fix. Paid HUGE money for this app. Had all videos downloaded, used it in my practice and it stopped working. NO WORRIES, just delete it and redownload it.

A great application that is now even better. This app has been around a year now and continues to get better and better. The new iPad version provides an easy to use interface and the video quality looks great on the full screen. More tests continue to get added to this already comprehensive compendium. This app remains one of my most frequently used on my phone for clinical practice as well as teaching. I'll likely utilize this even more now that the iPad version is There is simply nothing else like this out there and CORE continues to set the standard for evidence-based orthopaedic apps. Ben Hando

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.

Videos don’t work. Not recommended as videos can be downloaded but not working.

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

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.

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

Great resource. Most who download this will already have their usual exam tests down. This gives a variety of tests with video and evidence (when available) to help me find a new test to integrate into my exam or use when a diagnosis is unclear. Organized, convenient and efficient!

MD. This application is a superb resource for health care workers who are interested in performing pertinent physical exam tests properly, and understanding their validity based on the current medical literature. It is a tool that allows the user to quickly review how to carry out the various described tests on any joint or the spine with written instructions and video links. Each test has a properties page with a statistical summary of its sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratios, as well as links to the source abstract via PubMed. This compendium is appropriate for therapists, primary care providers as well as orthopaedic surgeons, and especially valuable for students and residents eager to acquire these critical skills.
