Aetrex is proud to introduce iStep Evolution-Rx, the most advanced in-office footcare kiosk ever developed. Designed in conjunction with leading podiatrists, iStep Evolution-Rx will help you provide a higher level of patient care, generate substantial additional revenue, increase office efficiency and modernize your practice.
iStep technology is considered the leading digital foot analysis tool available on the market today. iStep identifies and analyzes pressure points, accurately measures for length and width, and creates a 3-dimensional image of your patients feet. This unique technology will then help you find the ideal footwear and orthotic solutions for your patients individual footcare needs.
Using 1,024 barometric sensors and patented F.I.T. technology, iStep measures the force exerted every 1cm and performs an infrared scan of the foot. The amazing iStep software then provides a descriptive analysis and uses a "shape from shading" algorithm to derive a 3D illustration of the foot.
The iStep Evolution-Rx will help you select the ideal therapeutic footwear and inserts for your patients with diabetes. For over 30 years Aetrex Worldwide has been designing and manufacturingthe finest footwear for comfort, therapy and protection. Aetrex offers you a comprehensive selection of trusted footwear styles including Aetrex Athletic, Ambulator, Ariya and Essence.

Your patients footwear selection is a vital part of their foot health care. The iStep Evolution-Rx will help you choose the right comfort footwear for your patients needs. With a few clicks you will enter into Aetrex's Professional Footwear Program, designed to streamline the selection process on the basisof your patients foot type and shoe size. They have done the leg work for you, with styles sorted by arch type, brand or style to bring your patients an assortment of footwear that can be ordered directly from your kiosk.
For patients who can benefit from orthotics but don't necessarily need custom, iStep recommends the ideal Lycno for their feet. With millions of pairs sold worldwide, Lyncos are widely recognized as the #1 over-the-counter orthotic system. Lycnos are available for all footwear types and offer options for metatarsal support and /or medial rearfoot posting to control over pronation. All styles are tri-density and feature a molded Pedic core to support the arch and provide maximum comfort. The proprietary iStep software will help you determine the apropriate Lynco style, and orders can be placed directly from your kiosk for quick delivery to your office.
The information gathered by iStep can be utilized by one of the world's finest labs to fabricate custom orthotics for your patients. Using advanced shape from shading algorithms, the technology allows you to digitally transmit a 3D image of your patients feet immediately over the internet. Shape from shading technology, also called photoclinometry, is a science used for ascertaining slope infromation from image brightness distribution. The technique requires empirical measurement of the relationship between observed light intensity and the viewing angle. While the science is newly applied to the manufacturing of orthotics, the technology is mature. In fact, the literature is filled with studies demonstrating its validity, including NASA's sucessful application of the science to lunar surfaces. Shape from shading, coupled with the mathematically predictable plantar surface of the foot, has created advancements in serveral healthcare areas, including custom orthotics.
With iStep Evolution-Rx you'll lower your shipping and casting costs, rely less on messy plaster and provide your patients with accurate, effective custom orthotics.
