Tibion

Bionic Technologies

Tibion Corporation develops innovative equipment that can help individuals recover physical function lost due to disease, trauma or aging.

The Tibion Bionic Leg

How it Works

A special sensor pad in the patient’s shoe tells the onboard computer if the patient is applying force to the heel or ball of the foot, in what proportion, and in what sequence – controlling the Leg’s “motorized muscles.”

Patient Case

BP, 59

BP is a 59 year old software designer who suffered a stroke 5 years ago. After two months of twice-weekly therapy with the Tibion Bionic Leg, he is regaining strength and muscle mass in his calf, quads and gluts, and ends each therapy session walking with a near-normal gait.

The Science

Central neural plasticity – the ability of the brain to re-wire itself to bypass disease- and trauma-compromised regions – has emerged as a prime mechanism that may be exploited to optimize therapy for hemiparesis in the lower limb. More information.

Tibion Bionic Leg

The Tibion Bionic Leg is a therapeutic tool with which PTs can encourage patients to capitalize on neuroplasticity to initiate development of alternative pathways to recover normal gait. More information.

The Therapy

Much of the therapeutic benefit of the Tibion Bionic Leg can be traced to it demand for active effort by the patient. More information.

Patient Candidates

Early results suggest that as many as 3 million patients with hemiparesis due to strokes – even strokes five or more years in the past – may respond well to therapy with the Tibion Bionic Leg. More information.

Investors

Tibion’s commercialization opportunity is grounded in the fact that it has developed what it and early clinical evaluators believe is arguably the first ambulatory device that can rehabilitate stroke patients with gait impairment. More information.
