结局指标
主要结局
Time to Complete Sit-to-Stand
时间窗: After acclimation to Assist-Knee (Participants are given at least 10 minutes and no more than 60 minutes to acclimate to each Assist-Knee condition for safety. After acclimating, participants will complete the maneuver to measure this outcome.)
The amount of time, measured in seconds, needed by the subject to complete the sit-to-stand transition. At least four trials of the sit-to-stand maneuver were collected for each participant using a motion analysis system. Average and standard deviation of the time to complete the sit-to-stand transition were calculated for each participant (each participant served as their own control in this pilot study). The start of the transition was determined by participant initiation; the end of the transition was determined by the participant reaching full knee extension.
次要结局
- Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test(After acclimation to Assist-Knee (Participants are given at least 10 minutes and no more than 60 minutes to acclimate to each Assist-Knee condition for safety. After acclimating, participants will complete the maneuver to measure this outcome.))
- Percentage of Body Weight on Contralateral Limb at 65 Degrees Knee Flexion(After acclimation to Assist-Knee (Participants are given at least 10 minutes and no more than 60 minutes to acclimate to each Assist-Knee condition for safety. After acclimating, participants will complete the maneuver to measure this outcome.))
- Time to Complete Stand-to-Sit(After acclimation to Assist-Knee (Participants are given at least 10 minutes and no more than 60 minutes to acclimate to each Assist-Knee condition for safety. After acclimating, participants will complete the maneuver to measure this outcome.))
