Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time to Complete Sit-to-Stand [ Time Frame: Collection at baseline ]
    The amount of time, measured in seconds, needed by the subject to complete the sit-to-stand transition.

  2. Time to Complete Sit-to-Stand [ Time Frame: 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.

  3. Symmetry of Knee Joint Moment [ Time Frame: Collection at baseline ]
    Ratio of knee joint moment between left and right sides.

  4. Symmetry of Knee Joint Moment [ Time Frame: 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.) ]
    Ratio of knee joint moment between left and right sides.

  5. Survey Responses [ Time Frame: Collection at baseline ]
    Participant responses to a custom survey documenting subject's perception of: Assist-Knee's performance, subject preference, feeling of safety, weight, feeling of assistance, and overall opinion of the system. The survey will also include the relevant transfer question from the psychometrically validated Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) for persons with limb loss.

  6. Survey Responses [ Time Frame: Within 30 minutes after using each Assist-Knee condition ]
    Participant responses to a custom survey documenting subject's perception of: Assist-Knee's performance, subject preference, feeling of safety, weight, feeling of assistance, and overall opinion of the system. The survey will also include the relevant transfer question from the psychometrically validated Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) for persons with limb loss.

  7. Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test [ Time Frame: Collection at baseline ]
    The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is a timed functional test that involves standing up from a chair, walking forward for 3 meters, turning around, walking back to the chair for 3 meter, and sitting down.

  8. Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test [ Time Frame: 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 stand-to-sit transition.

  2. Time to Complete Stand-to-Sit [ Time Frame: 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 stand-to-sit transition.

  3. Weight Distribution [ Time Frame: Collection at baseline ]
    Ratio of ground reaction forces between left and right sides for both stand-to-sit and sit-to-stand transitions.

  4. Weight Distribution [ Time Frame: 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.) ]
    Ratio of ground reaction forces between left and right sides for both stand-to-sit and sit-to-stand transitions.

  5. Symmetry of Kinematics [ Time Frame: Collection at baseline ]
    Comparison of lower limb joint angles between right and left sides.

  6. Symmetry of Kinematics [ Time Frame: 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.) ]
    Comparison of lower limb joint angles between right and left sides.
