Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful condition that affects over 650 million people worldwide1<\/sup>. Occurring predominantly in those aged 40 and over, the barrier to activity it presents can have a debilitating effect on both the physical and mental health of sufferers. Thankfully, knee braces have been shown to have a positive effect on the symptoms of OA2<\/sup>, and with the release of ROAM\u2122 OA, DonJoy\u00ae<\/strong> has a new way to help OA patients reduce knee pain and stay active and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfortable, easy to use, and effective<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regular use of offloader knee braces has been shown to contribute to improved daily functioning, reduced pain, and enhanced mobility, ultimately leading to a better quality of life2<\/sup>. ROAM OA<\/strong><\/a> is designed to improve mobility and provide relief by unloading the pressure of moderate to severe unicompartmental osteoarthritis or other knee pain. Its lightweight, low-profile joint offloading and support system offer a high level of comfort while remaining user-friendly for both prescribers and patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed for diverse patient needs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Whether for conservative care or as a preparation for surgery, ROAM OA\u2019s series of adjustable settings<\/strong><\/a> cater to a wide range of patients looking to enhance their activity levels and maintain an active lifestyle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To address the most challenging fitting needs, ROAM OA is also available in a custom-made version. Tailored to individual measurements, this option ensures a unique fit with custom-positioned condyle and uprights, optimal height setting, and personalized cuff sizes and strap lengths.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Features and benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a patient-focused approach, ROAM OA\u2019s list of features ensures ease of use and aids compliance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once set by a trained fitter, the “set and forget” straps<\/strong> provide a visual guide for patients to help make donning and removing the brace simple and worry-free.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

The patented Mag-Align magnetic buckles<\/strong> provide an audible “snap” on connection, instilling confidence in patients, even those with eyesight or dexterity challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The BOA\u00ae Fit System<\/strong> allows patients to easily dial in support and pain relief on demand.<\/strong> Simply turn the dials to increase tension in the brace, or pull them out for quick release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

And patent-pending comfort straps and a condyle harness<\/strong> help negate migration of the brace while enhancing comfort<\/strong> by leaving the popliteal fossa area behind the knee free from friction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
