Our bodies are designed to move — to stand tall, bear weight, and explore the world. For children with complex mobility challenges such as cerebral palsy, the ability to walk isn’t just about movement; it’s about growth, participation, and independence. Assisted weight bearing and walking have long been recognised as powerful therapeutic interventions, supporting hip development, bone density, muscle strength, and gross motor function. But helping children achieve the number of steps needed to make meaningful gains in strength and neural plasticity can be incredibly difficult.
This is where technology meets therapy — and where hope takes its first steps.
Introducing Trexo Robotics — a breakthrough in paediatric mobility that combines robotics, science, and human innovation to redefine what’s possible. Developed in Canada, Trexo is the world’s first robotic gait trainer designed specifically for children. Its mission is simple but profound: to make walking possible for every child, regardless of diagnosis.
The story behind Trexo is as inspiring as the technology itself. When co-founder Manmeet Maggu’s nephew, Praneit, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Manmeet discovered there were no suitable devices to help children like his nephew walk independently. Determined to change that, he and co-founder Rahul Udasi created Trexo — a robotic exoskeleton that gives children the gift of movement. What began as a personal project of love and necessity has evolved into a global innovation transforming mobility and rehabilitation outcomes.
Trexo’s robotic legs attach to the Rifton Dynamic Pacer, a trusted mobility base that provides postural alignment and dynamic support. Together, they form a powerful partnership: Rifton ensures stability and positioning, while Trexo’s robotic legs guide the user through a natural, repetitive gait pattern.
As the child grows stronger, they gradually take more control, transitioning from robotic-assisted steps to initiating their own. Each session becomes an opportunity to build strength, confidence, and independence — one step at a time.
What makes Trexo truly remarkable is its personalisation. Every setting — from hip and knee angles to speed, weight bearing, and step length — can be tailored to the child’s unique needs. Its intuitive tablet interface allows therapists and parents to monitor progress, track steps, and adjust settings in real time, turning every walk into measurable, meaningful progress.
Available now through APEX Mobility in Australia and New Zealand, the Trexo Robotic Gait Trainer opens new possibilities for children with cerebral palsy, spinal injuries, acquired brain injuries, neuromuscular conditions, and muscular dystrophies. With Trexo, children are not just walking — they’re exploring, engaging, and embracing life in motion.
The future of mobility is here.
Feel the movement. Hear the steps. See the change.
From impossible… to possible.
