Inventors include Madhura Sudhir Deshmukh; and Dr. Sumedha Bhatia.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: ABSTRACT: The present invention relates to a smart multi-modal foam roller designed for musculoskeletal therapy and rehabilitation. The device integrates mechanical rolling with controlled thermal therapy (heating and cooling) and electrical stimulation (TENS/EMS) within a single portable apparatus. The foam roller comprises a conductive silicone outer layer, a thermoelectric module, embedded electronic control circuitry, and a rechargeable power source. An active electrode matrix enables safe electrical stimulation based on skin contact detection. The system incorporates real-time monitoring and safety mechanisms, including temperature regulation, impedance sensing, and automatic shutdown features. The invention provides an efficient, user- controlled, and portable therapeutic solution, enhancing pain management, muscle recovery, and rehabilitation outcomes while reducing reliance on multiple devices.
