The device can correct a child’s gait or assist with steps for conditions including spinal cord injuries and cerebral palsy. Unlike some other walking devices, the design allows real foot contact with the ground, which supports bone health and sensory feedback.

The device was developed by friends Manmeet Maggu and Rahul Udasi, who were inspired by a family member’s diagnosis of cerebral palsy. The First Steps Wellness Centre in Regina, Canada, received the exoskeleton through a donation.
