Interactive Brain Atlas
This software contains 2-D and 3-D views of the brain from cadaver sections, MRI scans, and computer reconstructions. It is a good program to use when you want to see what a structure looks like and where it is in the brain. There isn't a lot of explanatory material, but there are Quick-time movies of reconstructions which provide a very effective way to visualize complex spatial relationships.

Images of internal spinal cord and brainstem morphology and of functional components, tracts, pathways, and systems can be rotated from anatomical to clinical orientations, enabling students to see exactly how the brain and its functional systems are viewed in the clinical setting. All images are presented in both PDF format for printing and JPEG format for downloading to PowerPoint.

Literature Databases

This is just a short list of available databases. For a more comprehensive treatment, see the guide to Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) Resources.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews contains structured, systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare prepared by The Cochrane Collaboration. The reviews are presented in two types—complete reviews and protocols. Complete reviews are regularly updated Cochrane Reviews. Protocols contain the background, objectives and methods of reviews in preparation.

Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro)
PEDro, developed by the Centre for Evidence-Based Therapy at the University of Sydney, contains citations and abstracts to randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines in physiotherapy. Studies are rated for quality using the PEDro scale. You can search PEDro by keyword and narrow your searches by therapy (e.g. respiratory therapy), problem (e.g. muscle weakness), and publication type (e.g. clinical trial).

PubMed (MEDLINE)
PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine, is a free search engine for MEDLINE. It contains over 17 million citations from MEDLINE and additional life science journals for biomedical articles back to the 1950's. One way to narrow your search results is to limit your search by publication type, e.g. randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, practice guidelines. You can also use the clinical queries search option to apply therapy, diagnosis, etiology, or prognosis filters to your search.

CINAHL
The Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) database provides authoritative coverage of the literature related to nursing and allied health. The allied health literature covered includes Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Health Education.

AMED: Allied and Complementary Medicine
AMED journal literature coverage includes complementary medicine, palliative care, and several professions allied to medicine including physical therapy and rehabilitation.
