A message from the founder
Sneak peak of RehabKit
Welcome to RehabKit. We are seeking to make the most comprehensive iPhone (eventually Android) app for any orthopedic rehabilitation professional. We currently offer 16 tools within our app, and we are always creating more.
Please use our forms at the bottom of the page if you have any questions or would like to request a new feature!
I hope this app makes your day in the clinic a tad bit easier, as it does for me!
A personal rehab-tool suite wherever your iPhone goes
The only complete rehab-specific toolkit with advanced features in one place.
Journal RSS Feeds
Keep current on all major rehabilitation journals through our RSS Feed Reader. Our feed automatically updates with the latest journals so that you can stay on the top of your game.
Stopwatch
Keep the minimum, maximum, and average of multiple captured values. This is great for objective time measurements such as balance and endurance testing.
Inclinometer
Always have an inclinometer on you with RehabKit. Measure all frontal-plane movements (e.g., shoulder abduction) and sagittal-plane movements (e.g., lumbar flexion) with exceptional accuracy.
Rotation
Measure any transverse-plane movements (e.g., cervical rotation in seated) with exceptional accuracy and record multiple values for reference.
Metronome
Provide an external auditory cue with our Metronome feature. This is perfect for fine tuning cadence during gait retraining, VOR training, and keeping tempo during resistance training.
Strength Metronome
Designed to provide the tempo and rest time for any resistance exercise. No need to count sets/reps ever again. Using visual and verbal cues (such as this tool) during exercise has been proven to increase motor cortex excitability (skill learning).
Neuro Metronome
Designed for VOR x 1 viewing and other ocular-motor and gaze-stabilization interventions. Perfect for your patients with concussion/vestibular dysfunction.
Basic Calculator
Just what it sounds like. We just don’t want you to have to leave RehabKit to get to your iPhone calculator.
Averaging Calculator
Simple but effective time saver. You can easily average multiple values (distance, time, repetitions, etc.) for
HRR Calculator
Allows you to quickly calculate exercise intensity with the Karvonen formula. This tool will also calculate the patient’s max HR if unknown.
1-RM Calculator
Calculate 1-repetition maximum based on any load and number of reps lifted.
Counter
Make the most mundane tasks a little easier. This is perfect for tallying up errors during testing (e.g., BESS Test) or just simply counting your patients’ repetitions.
Converter
Convert essentially any unit (e.g., meters to feet and mph to m/s). This is a must have unless you LOVE math.
Resources
We have scoured the literature for you to provide you with the most up-to-date clinical prediction rules and the Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy’s Clinical Practice Guidelines all in one place.
Interval Timer
The interval timer is designed to help those exercises that are time based (e.g., planks, HIIT, etc.)
In the palm of your hand
16 rehab-specific tools in your pocket at all times.
