Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding the Biomechanics of Human Motion is crucial for advancing numerous fields, including sports science, rehabilitation, robotics, and ergonomics. This Special Issue aims to bring together innovative research that addresses the complexities of human movement, focusing on musculoskeletal dynamics, movement analysis, and computational modeling. By exploring the underlying principles and applications of human motion, we aim to improve athletic performance, enhance injury prevention strategies, and support the development of assistive technologies such as prosthetics and exoskeletons.
Contributions to this Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics, including biomechanical modeling, motion capture methods, computational simulations, and the application of these techniques in clinical and sports environments. Research on gait analysis, musculoskeletal simulations, and wearable biomechanics sensors will also be highlighted. The goal of this Special Issue is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and showcase the latest advancements in the Biomechanics of Human Motion.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and engineers from biomechanics, biomedical engineering, sports medicine, and related fields to contribute to this Special Issue. Through this collection, we hope to highlight emerging trends and provide a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art research in human motion biomechanics.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
