Supporting literature behind the Trexo Plus

Trexo is novel equipment that launched in 2018, with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital as our first clinical collaborator site. Since then more clinics have acquired the Trexo Plus and are in the process of conducting research. 

Below is a list of research studies supporting robotic gait training which were used during the design of the Trexo.
