MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641017414 A) filed by Sri Devaraj Urs Academy Of Higher Education And Research, Kolar, Karnataka, on Feb. 17, for 'a system and method for forearm rehabilitation using an inverted pendulum with adjustable torque.'

Inventor(s) include 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: "The present invention relates to a forearm rehabilitation system comprising a rod with threaded sections designed for adjustable weighted screws, a central fulcrum for rotational alignment with the anatomical axis, and a stable base for secure positioning. An ergonomic grip region on the rod ensures proper forearm alignment during exercise. The adjustable weighted screws are provided with a mechanical locking mechanism that allows for selective setting of resistance torque through lateral adjustment relative to the central fulcrum. Additionally, recesses along the rod guide the precise positioning of the weighted screws. An integrated sensor module monitors angular displacement during rotational movement and wirelessly transmits the corresponding data to a remote monitoring unit. This innovative system affords smooth, continuous rotation during supination and pronation exercises, thereby effectively addressing the needs of patients undergoing forearm rehabilitation while ensuring both safety and efficient therapeutic progress."
