Clicking here brings you to exercises specific for the chosen condition. Now up to this point the app is free and you can see the list of different exercises. Trying to view the different exercise videos, however, prompts you to pay for the app and you can either pay a one-time fee of $19.99 or a monthly subscription fee of $1.99. Once paid you can view the various exercise videos and choose which ones you want to add to a routine.

Clicking on the plus sign adds the video to a routine while the information icon gives information on the type of exercise being demonstrated.

You can further narrow the list of exercise by clicking one of the 4 tabs at the top which can break exercises down by category, phase and equipment. Once you have added the exercises to a routine you can save it as a pdf which opens up an editing page where you can edit the font, color and annotate the images.

When you are done clicking the save icon on the bottom right saves it to your list of PDFs on your device.

There is another icon to email the PDF as an attachment and you can email it directly to the patient or to yourself and the print it out and hand to the patient.

The process from start to finish is very quick and once you are comfortable using the app an exercise routine handout can be printed and given to the patient within 4-5 minutes.

Evidence and literature used to support the app

  • There are no references or sources listed anywhere in the app. For a medical app credibility and evidence based data are crucial and this app falls short in this department. This makes the app great but not a must-have in my opinion.

Healthcare providers that would benefit from this app

  • Physicians, residents, physical and occupational therapists, nurse practitioners
  • The people who would benefit the most from this app would be sports medicine and orthopedic physicians, family medicine physicians, physical and occupational therapists.

Patients that may benefit from this app

  • Patients with lower extremity MSK injuries.
  • Price
    • Free initially but need to pay to access full features, $49.99 one time fee (on sale as of this writing for $19.99), $4.99 monthly subscription (on sale as of this writing for $1.99)
    • Quick and easy to use
    • Real world applicability in clinical settings
    • Clear pictures and videos
    • Detailed and well organized
    • Reasonably priced
  • Dislikes
    • Lacking supporting references
    • Not available for Android currently
  • Overall
    • Overall I think its a great app. With 165 conditions and 340 exercises, theres a wealth of information in the app. The real wow factor is the ability to choose an injury and design a rehabilitation routine complete with accompanying pictures and generate a patient handout within minutes and give it to your patient.
    • This would be a must-have app for clinicians dealing with MSK-related complaints if it weren’t for the lack of supportive evidence and literature. As I said before a medical app needs to have very clear and strong references to be trusted and sadly the authors haven’t listed any in this app.
    • I will say I personally will be keeping this app and using it but will have to cross-reference everything with guidelines until I become more comfortable with the apps data.
