About
Dany H. Gagnon is a rehabilitation scientist and researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of neuroscience, assistive technology, and physical rehabilitation, with a particular focus on spinal cord injury (SCI) and post-stroke recovery. He is best known for his pioneering investigations into robotic exoskeleton-assisted locomotor training, having systematically examined how overground wearable exoskeletons affect body composition, bone mineral density, cardiorespiratory fitness, and muscle synergies in long-term wheelchair users with chronic SCI. His feasibility studies—garnering over 75 citations—have shaped clinical understanding of how such programs can be safely and effectively implemented in community settings. Beyond lower-limb rehabilitation, Gagnon has made significant contributions to upper-limb neurorehabilitation, evaluating soft robotic gloves for restoring hand function following stroke and exploring how somesthetic, visual, and auditory feedback modalities can be integrated into technology-driven therapies. His work bridges clinical and engineering perspectives, engaging both occupational therapists and end-users to assess real-world usability. With over 450 cumulative citations across his most impactful publications, Gagnon's research continues to meaningfully advance evidence-based, technology-assisted rehabilitation for individuals living with neurological disabilities.
