MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611001157 A) filed by Dr. B R Ambedkar National Institute Of Technology, Jalandhar, Punjab, on Jan. 6, for 'a gait assessment system for determining a severity level of parkinson's disease.'
Inventor(s) include Pooja; Karan Veer; Bhim Singh; and Shubhajit Roy Chowdhury.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A gait assessment system (100) for determining a severity level of Parkinson's disease comprising a wearable force-sensing module (102) positioned beneath the sole of a foot of a subject, configured to measure ground reaction force during walking. A motion sensing module (104) measures acceleration and angular displacement of the foot during gait. Further, at least one processor (106) operatively coupled to the force-sensing module (102) and motion sensing module (104), and coupled to a memory module (108) for storing time-stamped force and motion data for a predefined duration. The at least one processor (106) retrieves the stored data, extracts gait parameters including stance time and swing time, and generates a gait score classifying the subject into low, medium, or high severity levels, enabling quantitative management of Parkinson's disease medication without MRI or fMRI. A 16 2 LCD display module (110) displays."
