MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641021581 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 24, for 'a wearable sensor-based device for predicting functional knee valgus collapse during closed-chain tasks.'
Inventor(s) include Varshini A K; Dr. Kotteeswaran K; and Dr. Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a wearable sensor-based biomechanical assessment system for predicting functional knee valgus collapse during dynamic closed-chain activities. The system comprises at least one wearable inertial sensor configured to be positioned on a lower limb of a user to acquire real-time kinematic data during functional movements such as squatting, stepping, landing, and sit-to-stand tasks. A processing unit analyzes the acquired data using predefined biomech tnica I parameters and predictive algorithms to estimate the risk of functional knee valgus collapse. The system generates a risk index and provides immediate feedback to the user or clinician through a visual, auditory, or haptic interface. The invention enables objective assessment, early detection of abnormal knee mechanics, and timely intervention for injury prevention in orthopaedic rehabilitation applications."
