Abstract
Embodiments include a light therapy device including an insole base having a top surface configured to be disposed adjacent a human patient's foot and having at least one light emitter which is configured to emit light away from the top surface of the insole base and which may be disposed or concentrated in areas of the insole base corresponding to predetermined anatomic zones of the human foot.
Claims24
A light therapy device comprising an insole base having a top surface configured to be disposed adjacent a human patient's foot and having at least one light emitter which is configured to emit light away from the top surface of the insole base and towards at least one predetermined anatomic zone of the human foot.
A method of treating a human foot of a patient, comprising
- providing a light therapy device including an insole base having a top surface configured to be disposed adjacent a human patient's foot and having at least one light emitter which is configured to emit light away from the top surface of the insole base and towards at least one predetermined anatomic zone of the human foot;
- disposing the top surface of the insole base adjacent the patient's foot;
- and
- activating at least one emitter of the light therapy device and delivering therapeutic light to at least one predetermined anatomic zone of the patient's foot.
A kit for treatment of a human foot comprising a selection of at least a first light therapy device and a second light therapy device for treatment of a human foot, each light therapy device comprising an insole base having a top surface configured to be disposed adjacent a human patient's foot and having at least one light emitter which is configured to emit light away from the top surface of the respective insole base and towards at least one predetermined anatomic zone of the human foot with the first light therapy device configured to emit therapeutic light energy towards a first anatomic zone and the second light therapy device configured to emit therapeutic laser energy towards a second anatomic zone different from the first anatomic zone.
A light therapy device, comprising
- a shock absorbing insole base having a top surface configured to be disposed adjacent a human patient's foot and having at least one light emitter which is configured to emit light away from the top surface of the insole base and towards at least one predetermined anatomic zone of the human foot;
- and
- an electronic control and power charge circuit configured to supply a patient with a programmed laser therapy regimen to stimulate increased local circulation of the foot to promote healing of foot conditions which is electrically coupled to a battery and a light source of the at least one emitter.
A method of treating peripheral neuropathy comprising:
- providing a light therapy device including an insole base having a top surface configured to be disposed adjacent a human patient's foot and having at least one light emitter which is configured to emit light away from the top surface of the insole base and towards at least one predetermined anatomic zone of the human foot;
- disposing the top surface of the insole base adjacent the patient's foot;
- and
- activating at least one emitter of the light therapy device and delivering therapeutic light to at least one predetermined anatomic zone of the patient's foot.
