Orthopedic surgery has entered the high-tech age with options like navigation-guided surgery and robotic assistance. Physical therapy is keeping pace with the ROMTech PortableConnect, a revolutionary device that transforms post-surgical rehabilitation.
Dr. Sarkis Bedikian, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon strongly dedicated to giving his patients the highest standard of surgical and rehabilitative care, uses ROMTech in his Palos Hills and Mokena, IL, practice. It's a standout tool for patients undergoing knee and hip surgeries.
Understanding ROMTech
ROMTech combines groundbreaking technology with convenience to revolutionize home-based rehabilitation. The core of the ROMTech system is the PortableConnect, a user-friendly device that brings professional-grade physical therapy into the comfort of your home. The compact device resembles a small exercise bike with an attached screen.
Through the PortableConnect, you can follow a comprehensive rehabilitation plan, with therapy modes tailored to every recovery phase.
The device has a real-time range of motion tracking and automatically gauges speed, power, and other metrics during your sessions. The device screen also allows for live telemedicine appointments with Dr. Bedikian.
Benefits of ROMTech's Technology
ROMTech offers numerous advantages for patients:
- Home-Based: Unlike traditional physical therapy, which requires frequent in-person visits, ROMTech allows you to follow a customized rehab program without leaving home.

- Cost-Effectiveness: By reducing the need for frequent therapy sessions or hospital visits, ROMTech saves time and money.

- Feedback: You receive both real-time feedback and progress reports.

The PortableConnect adapts to each phase of recovery through four therapy modes:
- Passive Mode: The system gently moves your joint for you.
