Kineon MOVE+ Pro wearable red light therapy device for joint pain
The MOVE+ Pro by Kineon is a wearable device that utilizes red light therapy to alleviate joint pain through photobiomodulation (PBM) technology. It comprises three modules, each containing 8 deep red LEDs operating at 650 nm and 10 infrared laser diodes at 808 nm, all secured in an adjustable elastic strap. The infrared lasers effectively penetrate tissues to address inflammation and chronic pain. PBM enhances ATP production via mitochondrial light absorption, aiding in inflammation reduction and tissue repair. A review of randomized clinical trials indicates that PBM can significantly diminish pain intensity with moderate certainty and may enhance functionality in knee osteoarthritis. The user-friendly design allows modules to easily attach to holsters, accommodating knees, elbows, ankles, or necks. Recommended treatment durations are 5, 10, or 15 minutes, with daily use advised. Retailing at $499, it offers clinical-grade therapy for home use, improving healthcare access, particularly in privatized systems like the United States.
