BROOKFIELD, CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATES, April 13, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- ROM Technologies™, also known as ROMTech for short, is the leading innovator in modern telemedicine technology. The company is helping thousands of knee surgery patients achieve faster recovery thanks to its groundbreaking device, the ROMTech PortableConnect^®, an at-home post-operative orthopedic rehab device.

According to Peter Arn, CEO of ROMTech, his company is dedicated to achieving better overall patient outcomes by enabling patients to recover faster, directly from the comfort and safety of their own homes.

One of the top priorities for Peter Arn and the whole ROMTech team is to help patients experience minimal pain during recovery, thereby reducing patients' reliance on pain relief medications, including opioids.

For years now, the United States has been plagued by an epidemic of opioid addiction. In fact, the opioid abuse crisis has grown so serious that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services branded opioid abuse a public health emergency in 2017.

According to a report published by the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, people aged 65 and older are the most vulnerable to opioid use disorder (OUD), and the vast majority of opioid addiction in the elderly results from taking prescription opioids as pain relievers.

OUD among the elderly is always a concern when it comes to post-operative orthopedic care. Most patients following a standard rehab routine after orthopedic surgery rely on some form of pain medication, including both non-opioid and opioid painkillers. The use of opioids for pain management can lead to opioid abuse and, on occasion, addiction.

ROMTech’s flagship telemedicine technology, the ROMTech PortableConnect, not only helps patients recover faster and regain quality of life earlier than traditional rehab, it also reduces pain levels considerably throughout the entire recovery journey.

In one study, 80% of patients using the PortableConnect after knee surgery reported significantly less pain during recovery than patients undergoing standard rehab only.

The gentle therapeutic motion provided by the PortableConnect helps patients regain range of motion while also relieving pain. In clinical studies, patients consistently report a significant reduction in pain immediately following a session on the PortableConnect. This means that every time patients feel a spike in pain, they can do a therapy session on the PortableConnect instead of turning to prescription painkillers.

In stark contrast, patients receiving traditional post-op care only lack effective alternatives for managing pain. As a result, they typically turn to painkillers when they experience sharp spikes in pain.

Given both the dangers of opioid addiction and the lack of alternatives to prescription painkillers, modern medical rehabilitation technologies such as the ROMTech PortableConnect offer powerful new ways to fight the nation’s opioid crisis.

Moreover, since the PortableConnect has also been proven to achieve faster recoveries and superior overall patient outcomes, this device gives physicians a highly effective alternative to traditional post-op rehabilitation methods.
