Summary

This pilot study examined the effect of task-oriented mobility training in three persons chronic post-stroke using a novel, wearable, mobile intention-based robotic orthosis (Tibion Bionic Leg).

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Tibion Bionic Leg

A programmable, carbon-fiber robotic leg orthosis (Tibion Bionic Leg, Tibion Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA) was used during therapy to actively supplement concentric and eccentric quadriceps function on the participant's impaired side. The device uses internal sensors at the foot and knee joint to detect intention of movement and, once a variable force threshold is passed, the devices provides appropriate assistive and resistive adjustments.
