The technological breakthroughs of the past decade
have helped science advance at an astounding pace.
Yet in ten years what currently passes as modern
medicine will seem antiquated.
In June of 2000, scientists
completed mapping the human genome, identifying the
sequence of all layers of genetic code. This enormous
breakthrough will help bring to market individualized
programs of preventative medicine to focus on keeping
people well. By understanding the Blueprints
of the Body, doctors will be able to identify potential
health threats ahead of time, and pharmaceutical
companies will provide more precise treatment options
tailored to the individual patient. Just as you will
know the Blueprints of your
Body, so should you know
the Blueprints of your Feet.
The introduction of computerized
foot analysis systems in the early 90's brought the
science of pressure and gait analysis to an exciting
phase. Using this new technology, scientific studies
demonstrated that there is a direct cause and effect
relationship between unbalanced pressure distribution
during the gait cycle and lower extremity pain in
areas such as the knee, ankle, or foot.
The availability
of the iStep system is significant because access
to this advanced technology is now being made available
to all health conscious consumers. iStep uses 1024
barometric sensors and patented infrared foot scanning
technology to perform a complete mapping of the foot
in less than 30 seconds. The software instantly identifies
an individual's foot type, pressure points and shoe
size, and then recommends the ideal orthotics and
footwear based on their feet and your inventory options.
The
amazing iStep software makes the process fun for
customers and provides access to a wealth of information
that will help provide a very high level of service
that will ultimately lead to customers feeling great
about their feet. |
