Trexo Robotics is bringing its robotic leg devices to Kids Physio Group Victoria on September 26-27, offering children with mobility disabilities the opportunity to trial walking technology that may enable some to walk for the first time. The collaboration highlights how robotic assistive technology is expanding access to mobility therapy for children with disabilities, providing new pathways to independence and improved quality of life.
What you should know: Two Trexo devices and team members will travel from Ontario to facilitate hands-on trials for children of all ages at the Victoria clinic.
• The robotic legs provide postural support that enables children with mobility-impacting disabilities to walk comfortably and safely.
• For many participants, this may represent their first walking experience.
• The sessions will also allow Kids Physio Group therapists to learn about the technology and assess its potential benefits for their patients.
Why this matters: Walking provides critical health benefits for growing children, including greater independence, improved physical health, increased confidence, and enhanced ability to participate fully in life activities.
• Children using Trexo devices have collectively taken over 126 million steps to date.
• The emotional impact extends beyond the children to their families, with parents often experiencing relief, hope, and excitement about new possibilities.
What they’re saying: Manmeet Maggu, CEO and co-founder of Trexo, shared the personal motivation behind the technology’s development.
• “Trexo was originally created for my nephew, who has cerebral palsy. Seeing him walk for the first time was the proudest moment of my life,” Maggu said.
• “Walking is important, it is a key component to good health, especially for growing children. Witnessing these kiddos experience the benefits of walking means so much.”
About the organizations: Kids Physio Group Victoria has specialized in pediatric physiotherapy since 2006, serving children from birth to 18 years old with personalized programs designed to make therapy engaging and fun.
• The clinic was the first to provide private pediatric physiotherapy services in British Columbia and has since expanded nationally.
• Trexo Robotics positions itself as a leader in mobility solutions, combining advanced technology with dedication to empowering children with disabilities to achieve independent walking.
