Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Bioengineering focuses on emerging topics in robotics-assisted rehabilitation technologies and their impact on clinical outcomes, daily living activities, participation, and quality of life at individual, community, and societal levels. Robotic systems have revolutionized rehabilitation by providing personalized, adaptive, and precise interventions for individuals recovering from neurological, musculoskeletal, and other debilitating conditions. This issue aims to showcase advances in robotic hardware, control algorithms, sensors, and user interfaces, as well as the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning for real-time monitoring and adaptive rehabilitation strategies.
We invite submissions addressing innovative robotics-assisted rehabilitation approaches, clinical trials evaluating efficacy and usability, and interdisciplinary research bridging bioengineering, neuroscience, and rehabilitation sciences. Contributions to translational studies, human–robot interactions, and the ethical implications of robotics in rehabilitation are also encouraged. The ultimate goal of this Special Issue is to foster a deeper understanding of the role of robotics in shaping the future of personalized and effective rehabilitation therapies.
Dr. Hongwu Wang
Guest Editor
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.
