MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641018056 A) filed by Prudhvi Avula; Harshavardhan Boosigari; Suresh Kumar Milam; Kavitha Natarajan; Madhavi Konetigari; and Prasanna Mohan, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, on Feb. 18, for 'a system and method for gait monitoring and rehabilitation with a sensor-integrated wearable sock.'
Inventor(s) include Prudhvi Avula; Harshavardhan Boosigari; Suresh Kumar Milam; Kavitha Natarajan; Madhavi Konetigari; and Prasanna Mohan.
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 invention relates to a sensor-integrated wearable sock configured for continuous gait monitoring and rehabilitation. It features an inertial measurement unit embedded within a designated lateral pocket designed to sense linear acceleration, angular velocity, and optionally orientation via a magnetometer. A microcontroller board is connected by flexible interconnects on a flexible printed circuit board, which facilitates digital signal processing and sensor fusion. The system further includes a wireless communication module that transmits computed gait metrics comprising gait phase, stride symmetry, and angular displacement to external devices for analysis and feedback. Additionally, a power supply unit and an encapsulation layer ensure operational stability and provide robust protection against environmental factors such as moisture and mechanical shocks. This innovative system supports continuous gait monitoring while delivering real-time rehabilitation support aligned precisely with the anatomical directions of the foot, thus enhancing patient care and performance evaluation across various rehabilitation and mobility applications."
