I commend the AAOS’ effort to create mobile educational material for students and trainees, which includes this simple app for learning the knee exam and special tests. This app has a very simple structural layout in list form that presents the knee exam: inspection, muscles, range of motion, and special tests. Each part of the exam includes a description, instructions and video. The special tests include information about specificity and sensitivity and include a short reference list. However, despite the useful information presented here, the app is bare and lacks much depth. The user interface is unfortunately too simple, and the overall content includes only 20 total exam maneuvers. At a cost of $9, this is quite a high price considering other apps that include more information and detail at a better value. I hope that this app will be expanded upon and improved in future versions.
