1. A light therapy treatment system, comprising:
- a power source;
a wearable positioning structure configured to receive a body part and to engage at least one anatomical feature of the body part so as to position itself with respect to the body part; and
a light emitting system coupled to the power source, the light emitting system being positioned relative to the positioning structure such that, when the body part is received by the positioning structure and the light emitting system receives energy from the power source, the light emitting system is positioned to deliver a therapeutically effective amount of light to a target site in the body part.

Abstract
A light therapy system provides for self-alignment or positioning with respect to a joint of a subject. The light therapy system can provide light therapy to a body part of a subject. The therapy system has a main body configured to be placed adjacent a target site and an activatable light emitting system is coupled to the main body. The light emitting system is capable of delivering a therapeutic amount of light energy to the target site when the main body is placed adjacent the target site.

29. A treatment system for providing therapy to a treatment site of a subject, comprising:
-
a wearable main body configured to be placed at least proximate the treatment site;
an activatable light emitting system coupled to the main body, the light emitting system being capable of delivering a therapeutic amount of light energy to the treatment site; and
an activatable non-light penetrating energy system coupled to the main body, the activatable non-light penetrating energy system being capable of delivering a therapeutic amount of non-light energy to the treatment site.

49. A treatment system for providing therapy to a joint of a subject, comprising:
-
a wearable main body configured to be placed at least in proximity to the joint; and
an activatable light output system coupled to the main body, the light output system operable for delivering a therapeutically effective amount of light, the therapeutically effective amount comprising a sufficient amount of light, for a sufficient amount of time, to substantially inhibit progression of at least one condition associated with arthritis in the joint. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52, 53)

54. A light therapy device, comprising:
-
a conformable light therapy patch comprising a substrate sufficiently flexible to conform to a non-planar portion of a subject that is to receive light therapy, a plurality of light emitting sources coupled to the substrate;
at least one circuit electrically coupling at least some of the light emitting sources; and
a structure configured to support the conformable light therapy patch while accommodating a joint of a subject that is to receive light therapy.
