1. A system for delivering therapeutic stimulation to a subject, the system comprising:
- at least one flexible compression garment configured to be worn on at least one body part of the subject, the at least one flexible compression garment defining an interior space configured to receive the at least one body part;
one or more sensors positioned and configured to sense at least one characteristic of the at least one body part that is related to at least one of movement or a physiological state of the at least one body part, the one or more sensors further configured to output one or more sensing signals indicative of the at least one characteristic;
an array of therapeutic stimulation delivery devices (“
TSDDs”
) positioned and configured to dynamically apply therapeutic radiation to the at least one body part;
a controller operably coupled to the one or more sensors to receive the one or more sensing signals therefrom and to the array of TSDDs, the controller including control electrical circuitry configured to direct the array of TSDDs to dynamically apply the therapeutic radiation to a region of the at least one body part responsive to one or more sensing signals.

49. A garment system for delivering therapeutic stimulation to a subject, the garment system comprising:
-
at least one flexible compression garment configured to be worn on at least one body part of the subject; one or more sensors positioned and configured to sense at least one characteristic of the at least one body part that is related to at least one of movement or a physiological state of the at least one body part, the one or more sensors further configured to output one or more sensing signals indicative of the at least one characteristic; an array of steerable ultrasound transducers positioned and configured to selectively apply therapeutic ultrasonic radiation to one or more selected regions of the at least one body part; a controller operably coupled to the one or more sensors to receive the one or more sensing signals therefrom and the array of steerable ultrasound transducers, the controller including; processing electrical circuitry configured to direct the array of steerable ultrasound transducers to selectively aim and emit radiation to the one or more selected regions of the at least one body part responsive to one or more sensing signals; and a memory storage medium operably coupled to the processing electrical circuitry, the memory storage medium having one or more machine readable programs stored therein, wherein the processing electrical circuitry is configured to execute the one or more machine readable programs; and a power supply operably coupled to the controller, the one or more sensors, and the array steerable of ultrasound transducers.
