MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541125677 A) filed by P. S. R. Engineering College, Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 12, 2025, for 'home-based physiotherapy robotic glove.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. A. Ramachandran; Mythili S; and Muvanisha M.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a system and method for a soft robotic exoskeleton glove designed to deliver effective home based hand rehabilitation for patients suffering from neurological or motor impairments (e.g., post-stroke hemiparesis). The lightweight, wearable glove utilizes soft actuators (e.g., pneumatic muscles or compliant tendons) to facilitate passive and active range-of-motion exercises. The core innovation lies in the Bilateral Mirror Therapy Algorithm, which uses a sensorized master glove worn on the healthy hand to generate real-time motion data that controls the affected hand's robotic actuators. This closed-loop system promotes neuroplasticity by providing crucial sensory and visual feedback, significantly enhancing patient compliance through gamified telerehabilitation and allowing for safe, continuous therapy outside of clinical settings."
