MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122859 A) filed by Meenakshi Academy Of Higher Education and Research, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'a pediatric electrical stimulation system for neuromotor rehabilitation.'
Inventor(s) include S. Durga Devi; Dr. P. V. Hari Hara Subramanyan; and Dr P. G. Mahesh Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a pediatric electrical stimulation system fabricated to provide adaptive neuromotor rehabilitation for children with developmental and neurological motor impairments. The system comprises a compact stimulator housing containing a microcontroller unit (MCU), digital-to-analog converter, operational amplifier circuits, isolation amplifiers, opto-isolators, and a battery management system. Pediatric-specific silicone-gel stimulation electrodes, surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors, and motion sensors including accelerometers or inertial measurement units (IMUs) are operatively connected to the MCU. An impedance monitoring circuit ensures safe electrode-skin contact by automatically halting stimulation and prompting repositioning. The touchscreen interface supports therapist and caregiver modes, while an emergency stop button provides immediate hardware-level cutoff. The system delivers customizable biphasic, charge-balanced stimulation pulses and employs closed-loop feedback by integrating sEMG, motion, and impedance data to modulate stimulation in real time. Wireless connectivity enables data transmission to a companion application, thereby ensuring safe, engaging, and home-ready pediatric neuromotor rehabilitation."
