Dermatomes 1.6

Dermatomes serves as a comprehensive reference tool, mapping the spinal nerve roots that convey sensory information from specific areas of the skin, alongside detailing cutaneous nerve distributions.

The application features a zoomable interface, enabling users to examine anterior and posterior dermatomes and cutaneous nerve distributions thoroughly. It also includes a reference chart highlighting significant anatomical landmarks, with pinch-to-zoom functionality for ease of use.

This resource is invaluable for a wide range of medical professionals, including neurologists, emergency physicians, family practitioners, medical students, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths. Additionally, it caters to individuals with an interest in neuroanatomy and human physiology.

Dermatomes was recognized in Apple's 2010 essential apps list for medical students.

It is important to note that users experiencing neurological symptoms should consult a qualified healthcare provider. While Dermatomes offers valuable information, it should not serve as the sole basis for clinical decision-making, which remains the responsibility of the user. Variability in dermatomes among individuals is common, and patterns of sensory loss may not encompass entire dermatomes due to overlapping distributions. The presented maps and landmarks represent a consensus from various sources.

Furthermore, Dermatomes comes with lifetime email support for users seeking additional assistance.
