Purpose
The objective of this clinical study is to examine the acute kinematics and kinetics of utilizing the Tibion Bionic Leg in a sample of chronic post-stroke patients performing sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transfers across a range of assistance and resistance settings (internal to the device); to compare these metrics to baseline performance without the Bionic Leg; and to determine the Bionic Leg settings that optimize a restorative (equal force distribution) movement state in these patients.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Force [ Time Frame: Subject participation in the study is up to one (1) week. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Force, in Newtons (N), by limb, as measured by kinematic and kinetic analysis during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transfers with and without the Tibion Bionic Leg.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Work [ Time Frame: Subject participation in study is up to one (1) week. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Work, in Joules (J), by limb, as measured by kinematic and kinetic analysis during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transfers with and without the Tibion Bionic Leg.
- Torque [ Time Frame: Subject participation is up to one (1) week ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Torque, in Newton-meters (N-m), at the ankle and knee, by limb, as measured by kinematic and kinetic analysis during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transfers with and without the Tibion Bionic Leg.
- Moment [ Time Frame: Subject participation is up to one (1) week ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Moment at the ankle and knee in Newtons (N), by limb, as measured by kinematic and kinetic analysis during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transfers with and without the Tibion Bionic Leg.

No Intervention: Patient Population
Chronic post-stroke subjects with varied impairment level, who have completed routine rehabilitative physical therapy.
|
Device: Tibion Bionic Leg
The device is a lightweight, wearable, portable, battery-powered, robotic leg orthosis that provides active assistance and resistance to lower limb movement according to the patient's intent to move.

Detailed Description:
Comprehensive motion (kinetics and kinematics) data specific to sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transfers with and without the Tibion Bionic Leg. The Vicon Motion Analysis System will be utilized to track movement using markers on the subject and the Bionic Leg per the UCSF Human Performance Center's routine. Once outfitted with the marker system, patients will be instructed to perform multiple sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transfers while data is gathered.
The sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transfers will be performed using a standard chair, with a seat height not less than 12" from the floor. The chair will be positioned such that, at sitting rest, each of the subject's feet are positioned on limb-specific force plates (left and right).
