OMM Guide – Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine App

Overall the app is very detailed and covers a wide variety of OMM topics and related information. It serves as a very good app for quick review.

It would be helpful to use less abbreviations as at times the app  appears more to be a student’s individual study notes more than a review for other students, residents or practicing physicians. Also, there should be some improved editing to check for spelling and grammar mistakes.  Lastly, it would be better terminology to change what the authors review as counterstrain under the assessment section to tenderpoints. Counterstrain is a technique, not a diagnostic finding.

While this app also misses body areas,  sympathetic viscerosomatic dysfunctions, and helpful ways for integrating OMM into clinical assessment and treatment for a patient, it still is an overall
effective site a decent reference for most students or osteopathic physicians.
