According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Dual Feedback Rehabilitation Mat. Abstract: Dual Feedback Rehabilitation Mat integrates with visual and auditory feedback. This invention consists of flexible mat embedded with an array of pressure and motion sensors designed to monitor biomechanical metrics, such as weight distribution, center of pressure movement, step symmetry, balance stability, and limb coordination. The visual signals are provided by LED light indicators integrated into or surrounding the mat's surface, lighting up in designated colors, sequences, or patterns to direct movement, indicate balance quality, or indicate whether performance is correct or incorrect. At the same time, auditory signals with sounds or beeps are produced to reinforce accurate actions or notify users of postural errors, promoting multisensory engagement and quicker motor learning. The system is capable of functioning in multiple training modes, including static balance, dynamic stepping, gait coordination, or dual-task activities, and can be tailored to meet specific rehabilitation requirements. The invention is effective, adaptive, and user-friendly rehabilitation tool suitable for both clinical and home based physiotherapy applications."
