Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks high-quality contributions that advance our understanding of the fundamental principles of human movement and their translation into practical applications. We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, methodological papers, and innovative case studies that address the complexity of human locomotion, posture, and motor control across a wide spectrum of contexts.
Submissions should clearly articulate their scientific rationale, employ rigorous experimental or computational methods, and provide evidence-based insights with relevance to biomechanics, rehabilitation, sports performance, ergonomics, or assistive technology. Articles may focus on experimental biomechanics, neuromuscular modeling, wearable sensor applications, or human–machine interaction, but should demonstrate novelty and a clear contribution to the field.
We particularly encourage interdisciplinary work that bridges engineering, clinical sciences, and applied physiology, as well as manuscripts that highlight innovation in simulation, motion analysis, and the real-world applications of biomechanical principles. Submissions should also reflect a strong commitment to transparency, reproducibility, and ethical standards in research.
Ultimately, accepted articles will be those that not only deepen theoretical understanding but also suggest pathways toward meaningful innovations in health, performance, and technology for human posture and movement.
Dr. Monika Piwowar

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
