About
Lynsey D. Duffell’s research sits at the intersection of neurorehabilitation and biomechanics, with a primary focus on restoring mobility after spinal cord injury (SCI). Her work investigates how pharmacological and robotic interventions can be combined to improve gait function, as demonstrated in her highly cited 2015 study showing that anti-spastic medication can facilitate robotic locomotor training in people with chronic incomplete SCI (13 citations). Duffell has also made significant contributions to understanding upper limb biomechanics, critically evaluating how different methodologies for analyzing kinematics and kinetics during activities of daily living can produce discrepant results (12 citations). A key theme in her research is the variability in patient responsiveness—her 2014 work (6 citations) explored why some individuals respond better than others to interventions for spasticity and functional impairment after SCI. By bridging clinical pharmacology, robotics, and rigorous biomechanical analysis, Duffell’s work provides evidence-based pathways for personalizing rehabilitation strategies, ultimately aiming to optimize functional recovery for individuals with neurological injury.
