Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There are numerous acute and chronic conditions that can be assessed using biomechanical analyses. Conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, joint replacements, visual impairment, cerebral palsy, peripheral neuropathy, and postural instability, are but a few physiological impairments that can be evaluated via motion capture, force production, and levels of muscle activation. The goal of this type of research is to bridge the chasm between theoretical findings and applied rehabilitation techniques. It is with this objective in mind that we are inviting colleagues to submit original research papers, topic reviews, and findings related to innovative restorative interventions for a variety of at risk populations. Interventional investigations, population comparisons, and case studies will all be considered for this Special issue of the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology relating to the “Application of Biomechanics in Functional Rehabilitation”.
The Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology (ISSN 2411-5142) is an international scientific open access journal, published quarterly, online, by MDPI. It is an open access publication—free for readers and no author costs for well-prepared manuscripts submitted in 2017–2018.
