Good question! Here are 2 articles I found that might help: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8558702/ www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9320354/
Good question! I have read dozens of research papers (however I am sure there are tons more) that show IR light can penetrate various tissues up to about 2.5 inches, which is more than enough to target some of the deepest tissues in our body. Depressing the probe or light array into the tissue can also displace some blood to allow deeper penetration in a shorter time. I recommend performing a deep dive of the available research on PBM, as there are thousands of papers published, at least 6,000 that I am aware of, from the time of this comment.
@IPAPhysio it's not true. The scientific data suggests that nir only penetrates 2 mm deep unless it is a Lazer, which is concentrated and focused light. I'm in the industry, and only Far Infrared penetrates 1 3/4 to 2 inches into the skin.
@@IPAPhysio You erased my reply? Nir infrared can only go 2 mm deep unless structured in the form of a Lazer. Far Infrared can go 1 3/4 to 2 inches deep. This is the official science.
@@Thestonedavidthrows Thanks for sharing! Here is the first article I pulled up that discusses 808NM penetration of about 40mm through cadaver head tissue. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lsm.22343 Again, with pressure the light can reach much greater depths and is mostly dependent on the wavelength vs the instrument that delivers the light.
There are cheap 10W 850-660nm caps on eBay for around $60. 30-45W panels and lamps in the $30-$40 range. My dad uses one for his macular degeneration. It isn't a cure, but it has helped. According to his VA doctor, there's been no disease progression in the two years since Dad's been using it (which surprised his doctor) and subjectively some very slight improvement in actual vision according to Dad.
Good question! Technically the band should wrap the area of the ribcage that needs the most external cueing, or which doesn't expand well during the inhale. This makes the band create resistance for the brain to identify where the muscles need to work more. Your therapist can help identify where that location is. Otherwise, starting from the lower ribs and working up can be a good place to start as you identify where the most challenging location is. Hope that helps!
Question with time lapse 20min:20-28; When nitic oxide leaves the mitochondria for enhanced used of oxygen, in lament terms are we kicking out the nitric oxide in making "space" for more oxygen, or are we splitting the nitrogen from the oxygen and the nitrogen becomes a waste product removed by the body and more oxygen for the body?
If you use older probes where the aperture plate is flush with the cone, make sure you have them tested to be sure that contaminants such as lotion does leak into and contaminate the aperture. This can dramatically effect the function. The newer probes have the aperture countersunk into the cone so the aperture does not contact the skin with pressure. I may be possible to have an older property be refitted with the modification the new ones have. I'm referring to the bioflex probes.
I'm an RMT and sadly learned this from experience. My IR probe was affected and it's power output was seriously affected. I may have played a part in the modification, who knows. Btw, I like the old portable units the best. So easy to use. I have two (wish I had four) and the and 2 probes R/IR. Bought a Weber IR helmet too.
Do you have any thoughts on red light panels? What characteristics would be required to make them useful? It seems much more useful than a want or probe that works on small areas at a time only.
Also great question! Bioflex recently released some interesting new devices that include panels. They reference research that suggests that panels are meant for general wellness by treating the skin/ surface level blood vessels. Professional equipment is best used in rehab and medical settings as they are far more targeted and effective for specific areas of the body. Hope that helps!
@@IPAPhysio my concern with small tools like the bioflexs is that, while pain may manifest in one area of the body, it may be caused by problems elsewhere in the body that aren't being treated and arent known. So, a full body device (like a panel or a full body mat would be even better) would be necessary to produce longterm effective results. But I don't know of any full body device that you can lay on that produces the appropriate wavelengths and energy output other than something insane like the Thor bed that normal people could never afford. Do you know of such a device? Is there any reason why this would be a bad idea?
If you use it on the spine which is experiencing back and sciatic pain and heel numbness, is it just a pain reliever or does it actually heal anything longterm?
Great question! Photobiomodulation is used with the intention of healing injured tissue through the interaction with the dysfunctional cells that are being targeted. As a result, the symptoms will improve as the source of the injury repairs, usually in conjunction with other therapeutic interventions.
So interesting. I am an RT and am very interested in photobiomodulation in the treatment of lung disease. I am trying to figure out how to involve myself into research on the subject, but I don't even know where to start.
Fellow RT, have you listened to Dr Roger Seheult. Quad board certified pulmonologist. His series is MEDCRAM on RU-vid. He is using PBM in his practice at Loma Linda.
@judybenefield1445 I work at Arrowhead and live in san bernardino county.... I am right around the corner from Loma Linda... I will have to see if I can connect. Thank you!
When you listen to this, then go learn about insulin resistance. When photobiomodulation is wed to insulin resistance, all that metabolic damage is greatly improved 😊
Great question. We haven't seen any research to support this yet, however photobiomodulation research has seen a significant increase in the last few years and wouldn't be surprised to see this researched soon.
From another PBM researcher, she found that for stroke patients you must only apply the PBM to the side of the brain with the injury. If you apply it to the entire head, you will do more damage than good.
you mentioned wavelength but you didn't say anything about the laser device's peak power, average power, duration of impulse and effective dose.. in my opinion they are fundamental parameters to know
Great question! Unfortunately every manufacture of photobiomodulation equipment uses different power settings which makes it difficult for us practitioners to standardize our protocols. Additionally, the parameters would differ slightly if the instrument was an LED light bar vs class 3b laser. Some key parameters that have been proposed by researchers are the joules of energy per point or per treatment area. For more information on this subject, I recommend reviewing the guidelines by WALT (world association for photobiomodulation therapy) here: waltpbm.org/documentation-links/recommendations/. Hope that helps!
