Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network is offering the public the chance to name three Trexo Plus robotic exoskeletons.
The devices, described as “life-changing pieces of technology” by Good Shepherd, help children facing complex medical conditions to walk, sometimes for the first time in their lives.
Good Shepherd Pediatrics, a branch of the Allentown-based Good Shepherd, employs the three exoskeletons at its South Allentown campus at 850 S. 5th Street.
A Trexo exoskeleton is a wearable robotic device that moves a child’s legs, creating a “perfect gait,” according to Good Shepherd. The exoskeletons enable children to walk who otherwise cannot do so. Some children may even be able to walk completely on their own after months or years of Trexo therapy.
Getting Your ZZZZs? Its Impact on Stroke Recovery

Sleep disorders, such as insomnia and restless leg syndrome, could have negative effects on otherwise healthy people. However, what impact could it have on patients recovering from a stroke? Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network aims to find out.
It reports it has received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grant to study the complex relationship between stroke, sleep and rehabilitation, according to a media release.
The $500,000 NIH grant will fund Good Shepherd’s portion of a five-year study “SLEEPR Study: The Sleep Effects on Post-Stroke Rehabilitation” that also marks a research partnership between Good Shepherd and SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York. SLEEPR is short for SLEep Effects on Post-stroke Rehabilitation, according to a news release from Good Shepherd.
