“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 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."

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
* Over 300 clinical tests to aid in diagnosis for musculoskeletal and orthopedic disorders
* Covers tendinous, neuropathic, ligamentous problems for each body part

A good app, but not great. The Interface feels cluttered and is in general not user friendly. There's a nasty bug which does not allow me to download the lumbo-pelvic videos. Also it's already a relatively pricey app, but if one wants to keep the videos for offline use an additional in app purchase is needed.

The app doesn't allow the user of the device "back-button". After reviewing a section within a subheading, it requires to start over instead of going back just one level. Also, while I can download most of the videos for offline viewing, which is awesome, it won't let me download the lumbo-pelvic section. I have reported this bug multiple times with no response or fix from the developers. On a positive note, when I suggested the app authors add a specific special test, they did.... Within 24 hours.

Ive used this app intermittently since it was first introduced. The illustrations are great. However, for a general orthopedic surgeon, the number of tests is overwhelming. Some seem very similar and redundant, while others seem obscure. Perhaps the tests could be ranked by the most commonly performed and clinically relevant in each anatomic area.
