Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the role of biomechanical assessment in evaluating functional recovery and performance following physiotherapy interventions. With the growing integration of advanced biomechanical tools and motion analysis systems in both clinical and sports settings, objective measurement of movement quality and recovery has become increasingly important. The issue welcomes original research, reviews, and case studies that investigate how biomechanical technologies are used to assess athletes and patients post-treatment, monitor rehabilitation progress, and guide clinical decision-making. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, motion capture analysis, force plate assessments, wearable sensor technologies, muscle activation studies, and joint kinematics in post-physiotherapy evaluation. Contributions addressing both athletic and patient populations, as well as innovations in equipment and methodologies, are highly encouraged. This issue seeks to bridge the gap between engineering solutions and therapeutic outcomes, promoting a deeper understanding of how biomechanical insights can enhance rehabilitation strategies and optimize performance.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
