4.1 Patient preparation and treatment performance
To perform safe and effective treatment procedure you are obliged to:
•interview the patient, by taking into consideration relative and absolute contraindications to use laser
therapy –it is not recommended to carry out treatments in the patients with neurological disorders,
synkineses, trembling and convulsions,
•patient should be placed in a comfortable position, while ensuring the tissue relaxation at the site of
therapy, in case of treatment performed near the head, the patient should be in lying position.
•sitting or reclining position should be applied to patients with respiratory disorders or breathing difficulties,
•explain to each patient the applicable safety rules during laser therapy treatments,
•make the patient wear the appropriate protective glasses,
•inform the patient about the sensations occurring during therapy.
The treatment effectiveness depends on the choice of parameters to the current patient’s condition. The
patient’s condition changes over time. Its observation and assessment should take place before, during and
after therapy. Such an action is necessary for changing the parameters in order to adapt them to the actual
condition of the patient.
It is recommended to keep the records of treatment, including the parameters of the therapy, the area of
treatment, treatment technique, dose and symptoms after therapy. If the treatment does not generate the
intended effects, change of treatment parameters should be taken into consideration. It is necessary to
continuously update knowledge and follow literary activities in the scope of therapy.
When performing therapy, it is recommended to follow the guidelines given in the following section.
4.1.1 Laser therapy
•Prior to treatment it is necessary to explain to each patient the applicable safety rules during laser
therapy treatments.
•Prior to the treatment, the operator and patient must wear properly matched protective goggles.
•Before the treatment it is necessary to check the efficiency of functioning of the device and to control
condition of the applicator and periodic power measurement –see 3.2.5.2.
•Therapeutic dose is described as energy density and is expressed in J/cm2. Dose of radiation must be
adapted to the goals of therapy.
•Technical parameters of the equipment, that is the wave length and surface of an applicator, have direct
impact on the dose of radiation.
•Methods of application (point applicator –contact, cluster applicator –contact, contactless), scanning
applicator (contactless) is adapted depending on the size of application area and the goal of therapy.
•It is necessary to follow the recommendations provided below when choosing energy density:
▪at the beginning of treatment series and in acute conditions it is necessary to use smaller doses up
to 4 J/cm2–it is always necessary to observe the reaction of the patient’s organism,

4. Unit operation
page 15 of 25 issue date 02.09.2019, release 10.0
▪in chronic conditions –doses higher than 4 J/cm2.
•In therapy it is allowed to use the following application techniques:
▪single point or several points within a given area (e.g. painful points or acupuncture points, wound
along the edges or within a small distance from the wound, within a knuckle),
▪grid method and scanning (large surfaces).
•In each technique it is necessary to ensure that the radiation beam is at right angle on the tissue.
