Innovation in Prosthetic Solutions: Bridging Neuroscience and Engineering for Next-Generation Prosthetic Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Prosthetic technology is evolving rapidly, with interdisciplinary research driving both state-of-the-art innovations and explorations of new ideas and perspectives for next-generation prosthetics. This Special Issue will focus on the latest advancements in prosthetic solutions, while also highlighting forward-looking concepts and novel approaches. Our aim is to gather contributions that not only bridge the gap between biological and mechanical systems, but that also propose groundbreaking strategies that can significantly enhance the quality of life for people with amputations.

Topics of interest include:

• Neural-Controlled Prostheses: Advances in brain–machine interfaces, myoelectric systems, and AI-driven control strategies;
• Sensory Feedback: Innovative tactile and proprioceptive feedback systems for enhancing embodiment;
• AI in Prosthetic Control: Machine learning and deep learning models for improving user adaptation and prosthetic control;
• User-Centered Design: Clinical and user-focused approaches for improving prosthetic design and user experience.

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. Prosthesis 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 1800 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.
