MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631014283 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Rourkela, Orissa, on Feb. 10, for 'system and method for detection of gait abnormality using wearable device.'
Inventor(s) include Nandy, Dr. Anup; Mandal, Mr. Aditya; and Ghosh, Mr. Mainak.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a wearable inertial sensing system (100) and method (200) for real-time detection of gait abnormality. The system (100) comprises a plurality of inertial measurement unit (IMU) nodes (1) mountable on lower limb segments of a user and a central processing and inference unit (2) configured to communicate wirelessly with the IMU nodes (1). The IMU nodes (1) acquire accelerometer and gyroscope data during walking, which are synchronized to generate multi-segment gait data frames and segmented into gait cycles. The gait cycles are processed using an attention-based temporal convolutional network to generate probability values indicative of gait abnormality, which are displayed in real time on a display interface (3). The method (200) executes all processing locally on the central processing and inference unit (2) without external computation resources. The present invention is applicable to clinical gait assessment, rehabilitation monitoring, fall-risk evaluation, and home-based mobility analysis."
