Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Movement is being investigated in biomechanics, neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence. The progress that has been made in modeling and analyzing movement is contributing to both the understanding of human movement and the development of new applications. In particular, the availability of low cost and pervasive devices for recording movements (wearable devices, smartphones, tablets, cameras, etc.), together with machine learning methods for the quantitative and automatic analysis of movement, has put forward the development of systems for user authentication, medical diagnosis, and rehabilitation monitoring. A leading example is the use of artificial intelligence methods for the analysis of complex movements such as handwriting and gait, which is improving our knowledge of the mechanisms underlying human movement and, at the same time, enriching the fields of e-health and e-security with new applications. Another successful example is the design of control systems for prosthetic devices that exploit knowledge about movement execution and artificial intelligence methods.
This Special Issue aims to highlight how movement analysis and new technologies are innovating the fields of health and biometrics and contributing to human movement understanding.
We invite researchers to contribute with original works and qualified reviews related to this Special Issue.

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.
