MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641017418 A) filed by Sri Devaraj Urs Academy Of Higher Education And Research, Kolar, Karnataka, on Feb. 17, for 'a system and method for finger rehabilitation with mini dual-auto winch and sensor feedback.'
Inventor(s) include Karun R Chavan; Saravanan Jagannathareddy; and Naveen Kumar Inbaraj.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A compact automated rehabilitation system is provided for targeted finger mobilization comprising a wearable mounting pad with multi-layer cushioning secured by adjustable straps integrated with a dual auto winch mechanism. The winch mechanism includes a DC micro gear motor with a spool for winding a high-tensile Dyneema cable routed through low-friction Teflon tubing guides and an acrylic splitter that divides the cable into separate channels for respective finger interfaces fitted with silicone rings and stainless steel hook holders. A sensor feedback subsystem with a magnetic rotary encoder relays cable displacement to a control module that, via a programmable microcontroller and motor driver, regulates bi-directional motion in closed-loop therapy. The system is further enhanced by wireless connectivity for remote parameter adjustments and integrated safety circuits for current limiting and emergency stop functions, ensuring safe and effective targeted rehabilitation therapy."
