From Wookiepedia:
A special branch of the Stormtrooper Corps was also referred to as dark troopers. They used an impressive jump-pack to get close to the enemy and attacked with devastating close combat weaponry. Since the punch of jump would break any man's legs, regardless of armoring, these troopers' limbs were improved by droid components, which meant that these men were more cyborgs than actually men. However, these dark troopers, most likely, had nothing to do with any of the phases of dark trooper run on Arc Hammer. It is rumored that some dark troopers were Force-sensitive and trained by Darth Vader himself.
