Abstract
Light therapy apparatuses are configured to expose a subject to light that is tailored to address and/or diagnose at least one motor-related neurological condition. Blue-green light and green light are useful for treating motor-related neurological conditions or their symptoms. Deep red light and near infrared radiation may facilitate the repair of retinal cells and/or neurons that may be responsible for motor-related neurological conditions. Amber, orange and red light enable the early diagnosis of motor-related neurological conditions.
Claims21
A system for administering light therapy, comprising:
- a first light source that emits a first peak of visible light in a range of 460 nm to 520 nm;
- and
- a second light source that emits a second peak of visible light in a range of above 520 nm to less than 540 nm,
- at least one of the first peak of visible light emitted by the first light source and the second peak of visible light emitted by the second light source exceeding an intensity of a corresponding bandwidth in standard indoor lighting at 500 lux.
A system for administering light therapy, comprising:
- a first light source that emits an above ambient intensity of at least one first bandwidth of visible light including a first intensity peak at a wavelength in a range of 460 nm to 520 nm, the above ambient intensity of the at least one first bandwidth exceeding an intensity of the at least one first bandwidth in standard indoor lighting at 500 lux;
- and
- a second light source that emits an above ambient intensity of at least one second bandwidth of visible light including a second intensity peak at a wavelength in a range of above 520 nm to less than 540 nm, the above ambient intensity of the at least one second bandwidth exceeding an intensity of the at least one second bandwidth in standard indoor lighting at 500 lux.
A system for administering light therapy, comprising:
- at least one first light source that emits at least one first bandwidth of visible light including a first intensity peak at a wavelength in a range of 460 nm to 520 nm, an intensity of the first intensity peak exceeding an intensity of a corresponding bandwidth in standard indoor lighting at 500 lux, each peak of visible light below 460 nm emitted by the light source, and an intensity of each peak of visible light above 570 nm emitted by the at least one light source;
- and
- at least one second light source that emits at least one second bandwidth of visible light including a second intensity peak at a wavelength in a range of above 520 nm to less than 540 nm, an intensity of the second intensity peak exceeding an intensity of a corresponding bandwidth in standard indoor lighting at 500 lux, each peak of visible light below 460 nm emitted by the light source, and an intensity of each peak of visible light above 570 nm emitted by the at least one light source.
