Update after two months presence in the App Store: > 15.000 downloads for my iPhone apps! Thanks to all people who downloaded and are using the software. I hope you like it. I already wrote a post that some of my iPhone apps have been mentioned on other weblogs. Now there is a new blog…Continue Reading…
And that’s two! Last week SLIC has been accepted for the App Store, and today NeuroMind has been added as well! I like this screenshot, and although in Dutch, you’ll get the point! ;-) I intend to publish an article in a peer-reviewed scientific journal about both. Currenly I am preparing the first manuscript on…Continue Reading…

As a reminder, SLIC is a subaxial cervical spine injury classification system, described by Vaccaro et al (Spine, 2007).

I guess if you use it regularly it will be easy to remember, but what if you did not have to use it for some time? The tool…Continue Reading…

However, this scale is that important that I think it deserves a special app – and orthopedic surgeons might be interested as well. I needed to find out how to work with the…Continue Reading…
Cervical spine injury is a topic that remains difficult in my opinion. When can I consider the spine to be “stable” (no abnormal motion) and when is external stabilization indicated.
