Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in material science, bioinstrumentation, and signal processing and analysis have provided novel sensing technologies that are compliant, discreet, and more comfortable to adopt for use in biomechanical applications such as injury prevention, recovery, performance enhancement, etc. Flexible wearable sensors combined with advanced machine learning or artificial intelligence allow for advancements in the diagnosis, monitoring, and prediction of changes in physical function and health.
This Special Issue, “Flexible Wearable Sensors for Biomechanical Applications”, will aim to showcase original contributions that explore the use of flexible wearable sensors for biomechanical applications, covering a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Novel devices or flexible wearable sensors for biomechanical applications;
- Use of flexible wearable sensors in biomechanical applications, such as injury prevention, recovery, or performance enhancement, among others;
- Innovative sensor design, programming, or integration to enhance the performance, usability, and wearability of flexible sensors;
- Integration of flexible wearable sensors for multi-domain approaches to biomechanical analyses;
- Novel algorithms and methods for processing, analyzing, and interpreting flexible wearable sensor data.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
