Computer-Assisted Technologies in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation

Dear Colleagues,

Computer-assisted technologies to aid in the design, analysis, and manufacture of products in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation are becoming common as the supporting areas of computers, embedded systems, communication systems, robotics and deep learning become more mature.

This Special Issue aims to publish a collection of research contributions illustrating the recent achievements in all aspects of the development, study and understanding of computer-assisted technologies in sports medicine and rehabilitation.

Examples of areas that are relevant for publication include, but are not limited to, the following: computer-assisted surgery/therapy; robot-assisted rehabilitation technologies; wearable sensors in sports medicine and rehabilitation; gait motion modelling and analysis; virtual reality/augmented reality in sports medicine and rehabilitation; body area networks (BAN); deep learning for sports data analysis; etc. We hope to establish a collection of papers that will be of interest to scholars in the field. Contributions in the form of full papers, reviews, and communications about the related topics are very welcome.
