Physical Therapy Content Master

This app is both an excellent source of physical therapy information and a way to test your knowledge of this information.  You can review specific areas of physical therapy knowledge or enjoy random information on physical therapy and then you can work to answer multiple choice questions to see just how well you have learned this material.  This is a great app for any physical therapist who wants to make sure that they are always on top of their game.

Nerve Whiz

This app is simply amazing.  You can use this app to select the muscle in a patient that is experiencing some weakness and this app will give you some options for what nerves might be the ones that are being affected to cause this weakness.  It also supplies you with a diagram of the brachial plexus and the lumbo-sacral plexus.

3D Brain

You can use this app to look at a 3D image of the brain.  You can rotate this image, select any part of the brain, and find out what disorders are associated with each part.  Any physical therapist can use this to be sure of exactly what part of the brain is at the root of a condition.

Brain & Nerves

This app gives you plenty of information on brain and nerve diseases.  This is not meant to be a comprehensive medical textbook in the form of an iPhone app but it does provide you with a good overview of the basics.

Netter’s Advanced Head And Neck Flash Cards

These flash cards in app form help you to brush up on your knowledge of bones, muscles, vessels, viscera, and joints in the head and neck.  This area and all of its components are so often involved in conditions where patients require physical therapy that this is an app every physical therapist should have on hand.

Netter’s Anatomy Flash Cards

These anatomy flash cards may not be necessary for physical therapists to review anatomy for themselves but they can serve another purpose.  They can help you to explain anatomy to your patients more easily.

Netter’s Concise Radiologic Anatomy

This app helps you to pair diagnostic images up with images of human anatomy.  This is an excellent app for developing a better understanding of how images translate from one form to another.

ePocrates

This app provides all the information you would ever need to know about drugs.  The dosages, potential interactions, and even prices are given here.  Given that many physical therapy patients are on pain medications or possibly other medications you always want to be able to look up the details of these medications and how they might interact with each other.
