MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641044139 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 7, for 'a bio adaptive proprioceptive feedback mat system for balance assessment and neuromuscular training.'
Inventor(s) include Daniel A; Dr. Vanitha Jayaraj; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a bio-adaptive proprioceptive feedback mat system designed for balance assessment and neuromuscular training in physiotherapy and rehabilitation settings. The system comprises a therapeutic mat embedded with segmented pressure-sensing elements and localized tactile feedback units configured to detect real-time weight distribution, postural asymmetry, and movement instability during functional activities. An integrated control module processes pressure data and activates targeted vibration feedback in corresponding regions of the mat, thereby providing immediate sensory cues to the user without reliance on visual displays, wearable devices, or external supervision. The closed-loop feedback mechanism facilitates subconscious motor correction and enhances proprioceptive input, promoting improved balance, coordination, and postural control through repetitive motor learning. The invention is applicable across a wide range of rehabilitation scenarios, including neurorehabilitation, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, geriatric fall prevention, and home-based therapy programs. The system offers a simple, cost-effective, and clinically adaptable solution for neuromuscular re-education and functional balance training."
