Wearable Technology and Movement Analysis in Athletic Performance and Rehabilitation

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the application of wearable sensors and motion analysis tools as a means of deepening our understanding of human movement, optimizing physical performance, and enhancing rehabilitation outcomes. This Issue aims to showcase how movement analysis and performance monitoring are being applied to real-world challenges in sports and clinical rehabilitation.

We welcome contributions that use motion analysis to evaluate motor function, track recovery progress, prevent injury, and personalize rehabilitation or training programs. Topics of interest include biomechanical assessments, motor control strategies, outcome-based rehabilitation protocols, and performance optimization through movement-focused interventions.

Submissions from kinesiology, physiotherapy, sports science, and related disciplines are encouraged. Both original research and systematic reviews that demonstrate the impact of movement-focused assessment and monitoring are invited.

Dr. Juri Taborri
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 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. Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
