Technology as a an Auxiliary Means in Sports for Disabled People

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will explore the intersection of biomechanics, medical engineering, and technology to support the participation of individuals with disabilities in various sports. The focus will be on how innovative technologies can enhance performance, safety, and accessibility across different athletic disciplines.

Potential topics include the development and evaluation of adaptive sports equipment (e.g., prosthetics, modified supports), the biomechanical analysis of movement patterns in athletes with disabilities, and the design of personalized training approaches. Additionally, the use of sensors, motion capture, and data analysis to optimize techniques for disabled athletes, along with the application of assistive technologies (e.g., exoskeletons) in promoting safety and effectiveness in sports, will be highlighted.

This Special Issue aims to present original research, case studies, and reviews that demonstrate the potential of technology to foster inclusivity, empowerment, and achievement in sports for individuals with disabilities.
