Your posting prompted me to look up the Jacob Joint. This lead me to
the home page of the manufacturer of the Step Smart.

Anyone who is concerned about encroachment upon our profession by
other groups might find this document interesting. In it, one of our
own is encouraging Podiatrists to stop referring AFO's to orthotists.

When we are all ready to stop slitting the throat of the profession
to put a few coins in our own pocket we may have some hope of seeing
the profession make some progress in the realms of respect AND
reimbursement. Personally given this type of marketing from the
manufacturer I don't expect that I'll be fitting any of his
products. I don't intend to let him have it both ways.
