Good Shepherd Pediatrics, a part of Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network, has offered the public a chance to name three Trexo Plus robotic exoskeleton devices utilized on the organization’s campus, 850 S. 5th St., Allentown.

Winners in the “Name a Trexo” contest will be revealed and commemorated June 5 at Good Shepherd Pediatrics’ annual Gala in the Garden.

The Gala benefits the Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital Emily Howatt Pliskatt Pediatric Unit, 2855 Schoenersville Road, Bethlehem.

“We want children, families and individuals from not just the greater Lehigh Valley, but all over the region and country to be creative and have fun with this contest,” said Amanda Kleckner, PT, DPT, administrative director of Good Shepherd Pediatrics. “You have a chance to create a long-lasting impression the very first time a child climbs into the device you named.”

The contest submission period was April 26 through May 11. Submissions were narrowed to five finalists. The public cast votes May 12, 2021 through May 21.

Good Shepherd Pediatrics is the only health-care provider on the East Coast to offer the three sizes, small, medium and large, of Trexo Plus, which allows children with cerebral palsy, pediatric stroke, spinal cord injury and lower-extremity weakness to walk hands-free in a safe, correct and consistent manner.

The Pediatric Unit offers pediatric inpatient rehabilitation and specialized programs to children with complex medical conditions such as pediatric stroke, spinal cord injury, premature birth, brain injury, respiratory challenges and traumatic injuries.
