Abstract
Abstract A method of treating hemophiliac patients suffering injuries due to internal bleeding in the areas of muscles and joints, said bleeding resulting in hematoma or hemarthrosis with concomitant pain and swelling, by biostimulation of the affected area of said muscle and joint, with at least one beam of light with wavelength in the range of 500-1100 nanometers for at least three minutes with an intensity sufficient to reduce the said hematoma or hemarthrosis.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A method of treating hemophiliac patients suffering injuries due to internal bleeding in affected areas of muscles and joints, said bleeding resulting in hematoma or hemarthrosis with concomitant pain and swelling, including the step of biostimulating the affected area of said muscle and joint, with at least one beam of light with wavelength in a range of 500-1100 nanometers for at least three minutes with an intensity sufficient to reduce said hematoma or hemarthrosis.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
74 words
A method of treating hemophiliac patients suffering injuries due to internal bleeding in affected areas of muscles and joints, said bleeding resulting in hematoma or hemarthrosis with concomitant pain and swelling, including the step of biostimulating the affected area of said muscle and joint, with at least one beam of light with wavelength in a range of 500-1100 nanometers for at least three minutes with an intensity sufficient to reduce said hematoma or hemarthrosis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 1 and wherein the step of biostimulating comprises irradiating the affected area with a plurality of beams.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method according to claim 1 and wherein the step of biostimulating comprises irradiating the affected area with local irradiation in one spot.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method according to claim 1 and wherein the step of biostimulating comprises irradiating the affected area by at least one traverse of the treated area by the light beam or beams.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method according to claim 1 and wherein the step of biostimulating comprises irradiating the affected area between 3 minutes and one half hour in each treatment.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
87 words
A method of treating hemophiliac patients suffering injuries due to internal bleeding in an affected area of muscles and joints, said bleeding resulting in hematoma or hemarthrosis with concomitant pain and swelling, comprising the steps of providing a low energy laser with power below 100 milliwatts and having at least one beam and irradiating the area of said muscle and joint with the at least one beam of said low energy laser for at least three minutes with an intensity sufficient to reduce said hematoma or hemarthrosis.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
87 words
A method of treating hemophiliac patients suffering injuries due to internal bleeding in an affected area of muscles and joints, said bleeding resulting in hematoma or hemarthrosis with concomitant pain and swelling, comprising the steps of providing a low energy laser with power below 100 milliwatts and having at least one beam and irradiating the area of said muscle and joint with the at least one beam of said low energy laser for at least three minutes with an intensity sufficient to reduce said hematoma or hemarthrosis.
