advanced, evidence-based knowledge and extensive clinical practice. This reference guide is designed for rehabilitation
professionals, educators, clinicians and students by Therapeutic Articulations, LLC.
For just $14.99 you get access to hundreds of tests and techniques carefully organized and documented by Dr. Dawn T
Gulick, PhD, PT, ATC, CSCS with over 30 years of orthopedic experience. Dr. Gulick currently serves as a the founder
and President of Therapeutic Articulations as well as Professor of Physical Therapy at Widener University and a Physical
Therapist/Athletic Trainer for US Olympic/Paralympic teams. Her credentials also include authorship of Ortho Notes,
Mobilization Notes (F.A. Davis Publishing), and over 50 peer-reviewed publications. Her years of experience have
culminated in this definitive mobile tool for orthopedic clinicians around the world. iOrtho+® is used by tens of thousands
of medical professionals and students.
Navigation is as simple as touching one of the 8 major joints and spine areas on the skeleton to then drill down to the sub-
categories (organized by tissues) of individual tests and techniques. In an instant, you will have high quality images and
full video with concise descriptions for study or clinical practice.
All images and videos use the unique approach of colored gloves (red for stabilization and green for mobilization) and
vector arrows to improve clarity and enhance the user experience.
Through easy navigation, you will also have access to statistical information, and, when available, the abstract or full text
version of the references.
Mark the tests you access most often as "favorite". Recall them later in the favorites menu with one tap from the home
screen. You can even contribute a test to iOrtho+® by sending the information to [email protected] If your test is added,
you will be sent a gift card!
The initial download allows you to preview the format and table of contents of iOrtho+® before you buy. The $14.99 in-app
purchase gives you access to ALL joints & frequent, free updates. This one low price of $14.99 provides you with a state-
of-the- art reference. Textbooks are only updated every 3-4 years, cost hundreds of dollars, and are a lot heavy than your
device. iOrtho+® updates are performed regularly as new techniques or data emerge, or simply to improve the user
experience. Through the purchase process you can decide to download all of the content on your device so you never
need internet access or you can select to keep the data in the cloud to only access when you have a Wi-Fi connection.
You can also change that option at any time. Since there is a lot of data in iOrtho+®, be sure to have a strong and
uninterrupted Wi-Fi connection when you download.

Out of all of the apps that I have seen this one is awesome. I got it for my ipad and loved it, was very happy to see it available for iphone as well.
Great review of what I have forgotten from school. It great that the special tests are organized by categories instead of just listed. It really is a great learning tool. I wish I had this when I was in college. I will recommend it to my students.
App allows you access to special test and mobs with pictures and brief explanation. App support for product is also excellent.
This is a great tool to bring in to clinic for practicing student physical therapists. Yes, it does have an additional cost of about $13 to buy the rest of the app, but I've found it useful thus far in organizing my plan of eval. My ONLY suggestion to the company would be to add a section that allows you to input notes and/or mark up the images on each test or mob since I have learned slight variations to some of the tests listed and I would like to write this on the each page to remind myself of the difference.
Thought I was gonna get some great information to help my students, but realized I would have to pay a lot more to get what I already thought I was getting.
This review is for the ortho exam portion only. The app contains many exams with photos and internet connected videos. However,there are many exams missing. The app should be more complete for $10 than it is. As it is it's a good start and I hope it becomes a complete app down the road.
I've had this app for a while and it worked very well but now ever since I downloaded the update (so its compatible for the iPhone 5) the videos no longer work :(. I hope something is done to fix it. The app is a little costly however helpful but now that the videos don't work the app is just ok.
The app is easy to use and full of useful information. Customer service was fast, friendly, and complete with step by step guidance.
I'm not giving up yet, but with the up grade, Im not able to retrieve any info. I'm a paid subscriber. What do I née to do
