MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611026856 A) filed by Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on March 7, for 'a method and modular gait training system incorporating predefined spatial geometries and activity-of-daily-living (adl) mapped zone layouts for functional neurorehabilitation.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Shikha Singh; and Dr. Avnesh Kumar.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a task-specific gait rehabilitation system and method comprising a modular gait-training board having predefined spatial geometries and zone layouts functionally mapped to real-world activities-of-daily-living (ADL) gait patterns. Each modular zone is dimensioned, oriented, and spatially sequenced to replicate anticipatory postural adjustments, trunk stabilization, and center-of-mass reorganization required during daily activities. The system includes non-linear and non-symmetrical zone arrangements configured to induce adaptive balance control, motor planning, and functional gait transitions without reliance on electronic sensors or computational analysis. Mechanically reconfigurable zones enable progressive rehabilitation by adjusting spatial orientation, task order, and difficulty to accommodate varying levels of neurological impairment."
