Publication number: 20110172746Abstract: Non-ablative laser treatment apparatus and methods for treating various patient conditions are described. A laser therapy apparatus includes an elongated base, a patient support surface attached to the base, one or more laser devices, and a treatment frame for projecting a collimated laser beam from the one or more laser devices onto a patient positioned on the patient support surface. The treatment frame is movable relative to the base along a longitudinal direction defined by the base. One or more collimators are attached to the treatment frame and each is in optical communication with a respective laser device. Each collimator is configured to receive a laser beam from the respective laser device, collimate the laser beam to a particular cross-sectional area while maintaining the laser beam as generally coherent and monochromatic, and project the collimated laser beam onto the skin of a patient positioned on the patient support surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2011Publication date: July 14, 2011Inventor: Roger Porter

Publication number: 20080036255Abstract: A portable sitting assistance device includes a cushion configured to be sat upon. The cushion has at least one foam material that can deflect under an applied load and store energy during deflection. A U-shaped cradle extends adjacent a bottom and along two opposite sides of the cushion in a parallel spaced apart relation with respect to one another. Each of a pair of arm rests is coupled to a side frame of the U-shaped frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2007Publication date: February 14, 2008Inventors: Diann Porter, Lester Rogers Porter

Publication number: 20070162093Abstract: A method for treating selected tissue, including exposing the selected bone or tissue to laser light having a wavelength between approximately 600 and 1400 nm, and maintaining such exposure of the selected tissue or bone to the laser light for a period of time sufficient to deliver a laser light dosage of at least 7 Joules/cm2 per treatment and maintaining such exposure for a period of time sufficient to deliver a laser light dosage of at least 1500 Joules per treatment within a 24 hour period of time. The method also includes upcollimating the laser light such that the laser delivers to the selected tissue a substantially coherent beam of laser light having a cross-sectional area of at least 2 cm2, and, further, delivering the laser light to a depth of at least 5 mm in the selected tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2006Publication date: July 12, 2007Inventors: Roger Porter, Frank McArthur
