Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second edition of “Advances in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/bioengineering/special_issues/6KL66M0LED).
In the past few years, the field of physical therapy and rehabilitation has benefitted from close collaboration with engineers to enhance patients’ outcomes and quality of life. From 3D printing for adaptive devices and hearing aids to exoskeletons and virtual reality, bioengineers have provided important support to the rehabilitation field in general. As these two fields, rehabilitation and engineering, have produced brilliant work in the past, I look forward to seeing what the present and future have to offer.
This Special Issue will focus on current research advancing any collaborations between rehabilitation and engineering, from a biological perspective, via basic and applied sciences research, to environmental and mechanical factors that play key roles in the recovery of our patients. We welcome manuscripts covering a broad overview of bioengineering research topics to enhance the physical therapy and rehabilitation field. These topics might be related to basic or applied sciences, such as biomechanics, physiology, motor control, or any other factor associated with bioengineering in rehabilitation.

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.
