Examen de l’épaule: A Comprehensive Guide for Medical Professionals

Examen de l’épaule is an essential tool for medical professionals treating patients with musculoskeletal disorders, particularly shoulder problems. Developed by the Federation des Medecins Omnipraticiens du Quebec Inc, this iPhone app provides a detailed review of the examination of the shoulder joint. The app offers a comprehensive guide to diagnostic and examination maneuvers, including descriptions, interpretations, specificity, sensitivity, and advice. Twelve short video clips illustrate these maneuvers, and augmented reality allows for viewing the details of shoulder motions in 3-D on the device’s screen.

In addition, the app includes integrated anatomy charts to review shoulder anatomy. Medical professionals can print out a shoulder assessment form produced by the Association québécoise des médecins du sport et de l’exercice, as well as an infosheet containing general advice for patients who have just received an injection. Available in French and English, depending on the language setting on your device, Examen de l’épaule is a valuable resource for medical professionals.

The redesigned interface in Version 2.0 is user-friendly and easy to navigate, while the addition of the English version makes it accessible to a wider audience.
