Sample of use in education with students with IDD
In a therapeutic setting, a child with mobility challenges uses the Trexo Robotic Walker to practice walking along a designated path. The device provides the necessary support and guidance, allowing the child to focus on the movement and rhythm of walking. Over time, this practice can lead to improvements in gait, balance, and overall mobility, enhancing the child's ability to participate in classroom activities and social interactions.
