MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611001557 A) filed by Dr. Kriti Sharma; Prof Atul Khajuria; Dr. Sukhmeet Kaur Bedi; Dr. Sonal Slathia; Dr. Shilpa Kumari; Dr. Gowsia Rasheed; Dr. Sharanjeet Saroa; Dr. Chitra Barotia; Dr. Ritasha Bharti; and Dr. Meraj Ansari, Hoshiarpur, Punjab, on Jan. 7, for 'a system and a method for unified bedside orthopedic and neuro-mechanical rehabilitation.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Kriti Sharma; Prof Atul Khajuria; Dr. Sukhmeet Kaur Bedi; Dr. Sonal Slathia; Dr. Shilpa Kumari; Dr. Gowsia Rasheed; Dr. Sharanjeet Saroa; Dr. Chitra Barotia; Dr. Ritasha Bharti; and Dr. Meraj Ansari.
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: "The present disclosure relates to a method and system of transitional bedside treatment of injuries or disorders involving both orthopedic and neuromechanical rehabilitation will provide multiple rehabilitation methods utilizing only one device that is mechanically adaptable to suit patients' needs. The system will consist of a processor and a mechanical intelligence core. The mechanical intelligence core will provide a means of physically re-routing and modulating mechanical force between three different devices; an adaptive joint mobilization module, an intelligent limb offloading module, and a progressive resistance morphing module. The mechanical intelligence core will enable dynamic alignment of the joint axis with variable gravity compensation, as well as a mechanically morphing resistance profile. Thus, there will be no need to replace/replace the system or recalibrate manually after each adjustment has been made to the patient's limb. To accomplish this, the present method of the present invention consists of placing the system at the patient's bedside, aligning the joint mobilization module mechanically to the anatomical axis of the joint, dynamically adjusting the load on the limb, and progressively modifying the resistance characteristics of the system based on parameters related to interactions with the limb. With an ongoing ability to reconstruct the mechanical properties of the present rehabilitation device as the means of facilitating the mechanical forces used to achieve rehabilitation of the patient's limb, the present method represents a substantial technical advance over existing rehabilitation devices. In addition, the present invention provides a continuing opportunity to Industrialize the rehabilitation process for orthopedic, neurologic, and postoperative phases of recovery."
