The Clinician’s Toolbox

The Clinician’s Toolbox

Practical tools for physical therapists, built by a physical therapist. They open in your browser, with nothing to install.

The tools

Three tools for everyday clinical work

Each tool opens in your web browser. There’s nothing to install, and every one produces a document with your practice’s name and logo on it.

MSK Ultrasound Report Builder

Write a complete, structured musculoskeletal ultrasound report without starting from a blank page. Choose a region, record your findings, and watch the report build itself as you go.

  • Structured findings in accordance with AIUM guidelines
  • Your practice details, logo, and signature on every report
  • Save as PDF, download for Word, or copy straight into your EMR

Dynamometry Norms Guide

Put your strength testing in context. Compare your patient’s results with published norms matched to their age, sex, activity level, and sport, and give a professional summary to the patient and referring provider.

  • Norms matched to the patient, including after ACL reconstruction and for throwing athletes
  • Limb symmetry, strength ratios, and areas of concern flagged for you
  • Works with any dynamometer: handheld, fixed-frame, push, or pull
  • A professional PDF summary, ready to print or send

Patient Letters

Patients almost always ask for a letter at the very end of their visit or after their visit is supposed to be over. Fill in a few details, and get a clean, professional letter on your letterhead in seconds, not minutes.

  • Appointment excusals for work or school
  • Accommodation recommendations
  • Recommendations for participation restrictions and return-to-play
  • Download for Word, save as PDF, or copy the text

Your patients’ information never leaves your computer.

These tools run entirely in your web browser. Nothing you enter about a patient is sent to us or to anyone else, and your account never holds patient records.

Your account keeps only your own professional details, such as your name, practice address, logo, and signature, so they fill in automatically in every tool.

Signing in

Your email is your account. No password to remember.

You’ll stay signed in for a few weeks on that computer. If the code doesn’t arrive within a minute, check your spam or promotions folder.

On a shared clinic computer, use Log out when you’re done.

Who made these

Built in the clinic, not in a boardroom

These tools were made by a practicing physical therapist. Each one started as a solution to a real problem in daily practice, and each is shaped by how clinicians actually work.

Questions

Common questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. The tools work in any up-to-date web browser, such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox, on a desktop or laptop computer.

Is my patients’ information stored anywhere?

No. Everything you enter about a patient stays in your browser and is never sent to a server. The only copy of a finished document is the one you download or print. Your account stores only your own profile: your name, practice details, logo, and signature.

Do I need an account?

Yes, but there’s nothing to set up. The first time you open a tool, enter your email address and the code we send you. That’s your account. There’s no password to create or forget.

Can I use these with my EMR?

Yes. You can download a finished document or copy the text and paste it into your EMR, attach it to a visit, or send it to a referring provider.

Does the Ultrasound Report Builder cover every possible finding?

It covers the large majority of findings you’ll see in everyday MSK ultrasound practice, but no structured tool can anticipate every case. That’s why you can download any report as a Word document and edit it freely, adding unusual findings or wording it your way before you sign it. You can also copy the text and edit it in your EMR.

Will my practice’s name and logo appear on the documents?

Yes. Add your practice name, address, logo, and signature to your profile once, and every report and letter comes out clean, polished, and professional, ready to hand to a patient or send to a referring provider.

Do these tools replace my clinical judgment?

No. They help you organize and present your findings. You’re responsible for reviewing every document before you sign or send it.
