Tibion to Exhibit at the Joint Conference of the American Congress of Rehabiliation Medicine and the American Society of Neurorehabilitation

Tibion's PK100 Bionic Leg Orthosis is an intelligent, wearable, power-assist device for the leg which actively supplements muscle strength to enhance rehabilitation therapy and provide mobility assistance for patients with loss of muscle function. Utilizing sensors throughout the device, Tibion's PK100 detects the user's actions, such as sitting/standing, walking, and ascending/descending stairs. Microprocessors on the device analyze this information and transparently apply the force needed to augment the user's actions. Patients with neuromuscular impairment due to stroke or chronic disease, such as Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson's disease, and patients with muscle weakness due to osteoarthritis or knee surgery may benefit from this technology.
