Canada-based tech startup Trexo Robotics has helped children with disabilities take over 100 million steps using its robotic brace.
Canada-based wearable robotics developer Trexo Robotics has announced that its robotic brace has helped children with disabilities take over 100 million steps, which is twice the number of steps required to circle the Earth. The device is designed to aid children diagnosed with cerebral palsy, spinal muscular atrophy, hemi and paraplegia, spinal cord injury, Rett syndrome and other neurological conditions that impair mobility.
According to Maggu, many of these kids were told they would never take a step. “Every single one of these 100 million steps tells a different story—one of courage, progress, and hope,” Maggu said. “This milestone is made up of countless special moments, each representing improved strength, better health, and brighter possibilities,” the company’s CEO stressed.
The Canadian startup completed the Techstars accelerator program and participated in Y Combinator’s Winter 2019 cohort. To date, it has raised over $5 million, although Maggu declined to share additional details. Currently, Trexo has around 300 units in use, averaging approximately 333,000 steps per unit.While Trexo initially aimed to assist children with disabilities, it has started spotlighting adult users as well.
