MUMBAI, India, Sept. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421021181 A) filed by Tata Consultancy Services Limited, Maharashtra, on March 20, 2024, for 'method and system for personalized and optimal selection of ankle foot orthosis.'
Inventor(s) include Mazumder, Oishee; Sinha, Aniruddha; and Perween, Tarannum.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 26, under issue no. 39/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In state of art techniques, it is challenging to predict how a specific Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) will impact muscle action and reduce an energy cost of walking for individual subjects. The disclosed method focusses on personalized and optimal selection of an AFO controller using an AFO torque, and a plurality joint ankle angles of each of a plurality of AFO controllers integrated with a musculoskeletal human lower limb model (MHLLM). The plurality of muscle forces is computed using the MHLLM for each of the plurality of AFO controllers. Further the method computes a plurality of muscle response metrics, from the plurality of muscle forces and an additional joint torque for each of the AFO controllers. Further the method combines the plurality of muscle response metrics which enables the selection of a personalized optimal AFO controller among the plurality of AFO controllers of a (cerebral palsy) CP subject."
