## What is Mobile OMT Upper Extremity?

Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) for the Upper Extremity is a powerful clinical reference and teaching tool for any student, clinician or educator involved in the practice or the teaching of manipulative/manual therapy for musculoskeletal disorders.   This essential and comprehensive mobile companion provides manipulative techniques for the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand presented in the context of best current evidence for use in treating upper extremity disorders.  Each technique has detailed, step by step written instructions as well as corresponding high-quality video demonstration that includes audio instruction (note: the video files download to your device upon installation and therefore do not require an internet connection). 

***  This is a large app (due to high quality videos).  It may be best to use a wi-fi connection. Or, download on iTunes on your computer and then sync.  If there is a problem with the download (app appears to have bugs, doesn't open, etc) then delete and re-download (you won't get charged again).  

Summaries of the most recent clinical research involving manipulative therapy are provided for each region (shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand) with links to PUBmed abstracts of relevant clinical studies.   Additionally a brief summary of the history of manipulative therapy is presented, as well as definitions of terminology.

OMT UE Features:

•Instructions for 50+ orthopaedic manipulative techniques for the upper extremity
•High-quality video demonstration for each technique performed by fellowship trained orthopaedic manual therapists
•Each video includes two angles of the technique being performed.  Therefore, there’s no guessing the important or even subtle details of the techniques performance (pause, rewind, forward within the video)
•Each video includes corresponding audio instructions that describe the technique as it’s being performed
•Each technique includes common diagnoses or “indications” for which the technique is typically performed 
•Techniques include high-velocity thrust joint manipulations, non-thrust joint mobilizations, muscle stretching and “contract-relax” stretching techniques
•Summaries of the current state of the research on OMT for each upper extremity region (shoulder, elbow and wrist/hand)
•Links to PUBmed abstracts of research on OMT for upper extremity disorders (internet connection required)
•Easily email PUBmed abstracts of the pertinent studies to yourself or colleagues from within the app
•Historical overview of manipulative therapy 
•The ability to show video out from the app and display the videos on a larger screens or overhead projector (with the appropriate video out cable from Apple)

If you treat patients with musculoskeletal disorders with conservative manual therapy management strategies, then this app is the perfect companion for you and your practice!

### 3/5 — Hopeful but disappointing

*2018-07-19*

Well thought out app with great videos. Informative on technique but lacks more detail and insight for therapists in search of more information. Not worth $30. Wish I didn’t purchase.

**Developer response:** Hi Casey - thanks for this review and I'm very sorry you weren't satisfied with the level of detail.  We continuously scour the literature for available updates to the evidence summaries.  We also add techniques on an ongoing basis.  If you wish, you can reach out directly to us with what changes you'd like to see in the app (info@clinicallyrelevant.com). We would love to hear from you!  Thanks again for taking the time to share your impression of the app.  We are committed to keeping this app up to date and valuable for our users.  -Ben

### 1/5 — Not helpfull

*2015-10-15*

Waste of money. Nonstandard techniques with limited / no discussions of purpose.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your opinion on the app.  Just to clarify, we took great pains to choose techniques that were used in published studies (only a few are not from the literature).  We provide references for every technique and even suggestions for conditions (pathologies) that each technique could be used for.  There are evidence summaries for each condition that highlight the current state of the evidence for manual therapy for treating that condition.  We've recently updated the apps and have added more features utilizing current best evidence.  We hope you will give the apps another chance.

### 1/5 — App incomplète

*2015-09-12*

Pour une app qui se veut être destinée aux praticiens en thérapie manuelle, ostéopathes, kinesitherapeutes etc, elle est incomplète.
Il s'agit d'un rappel concernant à 90% des mobilisation articulaires, avec seulement trois vidéos de thrust.
Cette app pourrait être utile pour un étudiant en début de formation, mais pas pour un professionnel.
Pour une app aussi chère je m'attendais a beaucoup mieux que juste trois vidéos de thrust que l'ont peut trouver sur le web.
Très déçu.

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-10-06*

This app information that is very useful, precise and well laid out. After searching the App Store for many hours, and finding this app, I am well pleased and thankful that I was able to purchase,

### 5/5 — Implemented Day 1

*2011-02-17*

I am a physical therapist who is well versed in manual therapy but who has had little practice on the upper extremity outside the shoulder. Recently began working in a clinic with certified hand therapists and bought this app to improve my elbow/wrist/hand manual therapy skills. Learned new techniques for these regions and literally implemented them the next day with success. Well presented logical flow of information from technique description to video to evidence for many techniques. Well worth the money for clinicians who practice or want to begin practicing manual therapy.

### 5/5 — OMT UE's

*2010-11-15*

Excellent, I now have 4 apps from Clinically Revelant Technologies, and each are highly valued, and referenced often.

### 5/5 — Great Application for Experianced and New Clinicians

*2010-10-19*

Excellent program that details a wide variety of evidence based techniques including thrust and non thrust manual treatments.  The format is well designed and user friendly.  Video quality is impeccable with multiple angles detailing patient and clinician positioning.  Detailed explanations of techniques are narrated in the video as well as written making access appropriate at almost anytime.  This is the next generation of education and clinical tools.

### 5/5 — Amazin

*2010-10-13*

This is an indispensable app for both clinician and student that far exceeded my expectations. It is comprehensive (going so far as to include an excellent segment on the Historical Overview of Manipulative Therapy). It is user-friendly, with hi-resolution videos shot from various vantage points with still images of hand placements and excellent audio overlay. The content is well-organized and easy to access for the clinician and student alike. The ability to link to (and e-mail) abstracts of the best-available, current, and supporting evidence is a great feature.

This app is a MUST-HAVE for clinicians and students!!! Apps like this will make over-priced textbooks obsolete-I will be including this as a strongly recommended resource for students-it's a BARGAIN!! This app is, after all, Clinically Relevant.

Do you and your patients a big favor and download this now!!

PS My wife is a PT, CHT and she thought this was an AMAZING APP - I can't keep her away from it!!

### 5/5 — Nothing else like this for manual  therapy

*2010-10-12*

This app is a one-stop shop for all upper extremity manual therapy interventions. The associated videos are clear and really do a good job demonstrating each technique. The navigation is a little less than intuitive initially, but once I became accustomed to it, it was no problem. The supporting evidence is included for each region, and you can email PubMed links right from the app, which is awesome. I'd like to see there eventually be evidence in support of specific techniques where it's available. Overall, this app rocks and I will be using it in the clinic and the classroom. Nice job!

### 5/5 — Excellent Tool!

*2010-10-12*

They really knocked it out of the ballpark with this manual therapy toolbox for the upper extremity.

Every healthcare provider that performs manual therapy should download this tool.  The instructions are succinct and well written. The videos are high quality.  The link to supporting evidence is the icing on the cake. It is easy to use and very efficient.

This is a great tool for clinicians as a quick clinical reference.  It is a great tool for both experienced clinicians wanting to improve their skills and clinicians in training as they learn the techniques.

All I can state is....download it now!
