About
Cyril Duclos is a rehabilitation researcher whose work centers on robotic assistive technologies, locomotor rehabilitation, and physical activity for individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI). His most significant contributions focus on the use of wearable robotic exoskeletons to restore walking capacity in long-term manual wheelchair users with chronic SCI — a population historically underserved by rehabilitative interventions. Duclos has made foundational contributions to understanding the feasibility, safety, and user experience of exoskeleton-based locomotor training programs, with his 2018 feasibility study accumulating 75 citations and his work on cardiorespiratory demands during exoskeleton-assisted walking earning 63 citations. Importantly, he has championed the patient perspective, examining user satisfaction and perceptions to ensure that technological advances align with lived experience — research that has garnered 57 citations. His more recent work explores how exoskeleton control modes influence neuromuscular coordination through muscle synergy analysis, bridging biomechanics and clinical rehabilitation. Duclos has also broadened his scope to address proprioception assessment post-stroke and smart rehabilitation technologies. Taken together, his research meaningfully advances the integration of robotics into community-based rehabilitation, with direct implications for improving mobility, health, and quality of life following neurological injury.
