MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521129564 A) filed by Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology, Sangli, Maharashtra, on Dec. 20, 2025, for 'wearable hybrid emg-flex sensor glove with closed-loop proportional control for hand rehabilitation.'
Inventor(s) include Riya Hanmant Bhopate; Purva Yuvaraj Kadam; Sweta Shivaji Mali; Shivam Dilip Bilaskar; and Prof. Sachin B. Khot.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention describes a hybrid biofeedback-based wearable rehabilitation glove designed to restore and assist hand function through closed-loop proportional control. The system integrates electromyography (EMG) sensors to detect user intent and flex sensors to measure real-time finger motion, enabling precise interpretation of neuromuscular activity and movement outcome. A microcontroller-based control unit processes these signals via a hybrid sensor-fusion algorithm, dynamically activating servo-driven actuators to provide "assist-as-needed" mechanical support. The glove ensures natural, adaptive movement by continuously comparing intended and actual motion, thereby promoting neuroplasticity and muscle retraining. The invention offers safe, proportional, and user-specific rehabilitation, reducing dependency while enhancing voluntary control. Its data-logging functionality provides objective performance metrics for clinical assessment, making it an effective, affordable, and intelligent solution for neuromuscular therapy, post-stroke recovery, and motor rehabilitation."
