This innovative foot pedal device helps prevent poor blood circulation
in the lower legs for people who sit for an hour or more each day. This
includes individuals who are bedridden, elderly, overweight, wheelchair bound,
travelers or recovering from surgery. It will also benefit people with Restless
Leg Syndrome (RLS). Insufficient blood flow in the legs can cause serious
problems such as:
·
Swollen ankles, feet or legs
·
Risk of blood clots known as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
·
Slow down diabetics' wound healing
·
Varicose Veins
To prevent these problems, the StepIt™ Portable Foot Pedal, works with
the heart to help keep the blood in the legs circulating. Use it by
pressing your foot down and up on the pedal to simulate the walking motion. This
rocking motion causes the calf muscle to contract, squeezing the vein and
blood is pushed up toward the heart.
The StepIt™ Portable Foot Pedal is lightweight, portable
and made of a durable plastic. It has a stationary floor plate and a spring
loaded rocking foot plate for a light resistance during the pumping action.
The StepIt Portable Foot Pedal can be used just about anywhere;
at home or at the office. It easily folds for travel and storage.
