Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The analysis of human movement, intended as the investigation of the mechanisms underlying the maintenance of balance, the execution of movements, and the production of muscle force, has been gaining increasing importance in clinical applications and rehabilitation. Such investigations can help characterize neuromuscular or musculoskeletal disorders, support treatment decisions, and evaluate the effects of rehabilitative treatments. Despite its usefulness, applications of human movement analysis in the clinical environment are still relatively scarce.
In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit manuscripts that provide evidence of the usefulness in clinical applications and rehabilitation of established or innovative biomechanical instrumentation, thinking, or engineering methodologies in human movement analysis. Manuscripts should show how clinical applications in human movement analysis can help gain better understanding, develop novel outcome measures, or push the boundaries of conventional approaches towards improved function and quality of life in individuals with neurological or musculoskeletal impairments.
