Advances in Sensing and Robotic Assistive Technologies in Rehabilitation

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the intersection of sensing technologies, robotics, and rehabilitation has paved the way for significant improvements in the quality of life of individuals undergoing rehabilitation. The integration of cutting-edge sensor technologies with robotic assistive devices holds immense promise regarding enhancements in the effectiveness and efficiency of rehabilitation programs across various healthcare settings. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments and innovations in sensing and robotic assistive technologies in rehabilitation, and will elucidate  the transformative impact of these technologies on patient care and its outcomes.

This Special Issue invites researchers, practitioners, and experts in the fields of sensing technologies, robotics, AI, and rehabilitation to present their original research, reviews, and perspectives on the following topics:

• Novel sensing technologies for the monitoring and assessment of rehabilitation progress;
• Robotic assistive devices for physical rehabilitation and mobility enhancement;
• Human–robot interaction in rehabilitation settings;
• Wearable sensors and smart devices for at-home rehabilitation;
• The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in sensing and robotic rehabilitation technologies;
• Wearable sensors for patient telemonitoring and assessment;
• Clinical applications and case studies showcasing the efficacy of sensing and robotic assistive technologies in rehabilitation.

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).
