Abstract
A light source unit not only applies red light and infrared light to promote immediate cellular activity, but also applies the light to a femoral epiphysis area (first area) and a tibial epiphysis area (second area) together so that a stimulating device for a growth plate includes a light source unit that directly emits light of 600 to 1100 nm to a femoral epiphysis area (first area) and a tibial epiphysis area (second area) where the growth plates are distributed.
Claims11
A stimulating device for a growth plate comprising:
- a single pair of side housings (410) configured to wrap around a femoral epiphysis area and a tibial epiphysis area;
- a rear housing (430) connected to the pair of side housings (410) and configured to cover a rear of the knee,
- wherein each side housing (410) has one end connected to the rear housing (430) and the other end configured as a free end, so that when the stimulating device is applied, a front of the knee is open, wherein a vertical width of each side housing is longer than a vertical width of the rear housing;
- a single pair of side pads (420), each side pad attached to an inner surface of each side housing (410) and configured to directly contact the femoral epiphysis area and the tibial epiphysis area;
- and
- a single rear pad (440) attached to an inner surface of the rear housing (430) and configured to directly contact a blood vessel area behind the knee, wherein a vertical width of each side pad is longer than a vertical width of the single rear pad,
- wherein the vertical width of the single rear pad (440) is narrower than a vertical width of the rear housing (430) such that when the single rear pad (440) is configured to directly contact the blood vessel area behind the knee, the single rear pad is configured to protrude inward to support the behind the knee,
- wherein each side housing (410) and the ear housing (430) include a light source unit (100) configured to emit light of 600 nm to 900 nm directly onto at least one of the femoral epiphysis area, the tibial epiphysis area, and the blood vessel area behind a knee,
- wherein the light is simultaneously emitted to the femoral epiphysis area and the tibial epiphysis area.
