The Isoped device is used to increase blood circulation and does so by muscular activation throughout the legs during use. Stimulation of the feet and lower limbs produces strong skeletal muscle contraction through activation of intramuscular nerve branches. Muscle tonicity is not a prerequisite for use – Isoped has a tension device which allows users of various capability (diminished or strong) to power Isoped manually simply by placing their feet on the pads and moving them reciprocally forwards and backwards. The legs/foot movement of the muscles of the lower limbs through the foot pad assists the body’s circulation due to the contraction and expansion of the leg muscles, facilitating increased blood flow to and from the heart.
