Can a cyborg do dualsabers?

I have a problem.

You see, ever since Tyrin got himself maimed three-quarters to death by Hasjo, he's been surviving with the assistance of his Vader-style life support suit. Like Vader, his strength, power and coolness have been infinitely increased, but his mobility is severely impaired.

As we all know, the use of a dualsaber traditionally relies very heavily on lots of complicated jumpy-spinny maneuvers that usually require a lot of agility, and it now feels quite awkward to write Melkaroth using one.

The obvious solution would be to have him make himself a normal lightsaber. But there's one very big problem.

The profile picture, which I am very, very proud of finding and loath to part with, shows him using a dualsaber.

NOW you see the scope of my dilemma.

My question is, does anyone know of a fighting style that would allow someone like Darth Vader to believably use a dualsaber? If so, could I please be provided with a helpful gif or video so that I can get a good idea of how to write it?
 
I've watched actual people use dual lightsabers in a similar manner to movies (minus force jumping and all that), much like Darth Maul had, quite effectively. You might have a slight issue with the aerial combat side of it, not that it is a requirement to use a saberstaff, but it should be practical and possible to use.
