Innovative Medical Apps Give Insight Into Joint Issues

STOKE-ON-TRENT, England, April 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Education app developer 3D4Medical has released new versions of their innovative Pro creations for knee, hip, shoulder, ankle & foot, and hand & wrist study.

The new products, from the world's most successful medical app developer, are designed to help medical and healthcare professionals, physical therapists, medical students, and anyone with pain or discomfort in those areas to learn more.

Featuring detailed graphics and animations, the apps allow users to cut across the joint with their finger and see multiple cross-sections.

They can also cut away layers to reveal muscles, blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue, and see muscles, blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue, and see examples of disease states and treatments, and muscles and ligaments in action.

The developers want to replicate the success of their Muscle System Pro III app, which has been downloaded more than 200000 times and been one of the top five grossing iPad medical apps on the AppStore for the past two years.

Project Manager Breda Jackson said: "Anyone with an interest in, or problems with, knees, shoulders, hips, ankles, feet, hands or wrists will find these apps useful.

"As well as studying cross-sections, users can zoom in on certain sections, and rotate the entire area. They can also view the joint from various angles, not just the standard anatomical options.

"They provide a unique insight into how the joints work, and potential causes for pain and discomfort."

Versions are available for the Mac and iPad through the AppStore. Video demonstrations are available at http://www.3d4medical.com.

3D4Medical was established in 2004 and now employs 50 people at their offices in Ireland and California.

The company's turnover in 2010-11 was €4m and their products have featured in several Apple iPad advertising campaigns, including the 'iPad is Amazing' and 'Appendre' campaigns from 2011.
