Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to unraveling the transformative role of sensor technologies in the field of biomechanics and rehabilitation. In an era where precision and personalized care are paramount, these sophisticated tools significantly enhance our ability to understand human motion mechanics and develop effective therapeutic interventions.
The adoption of sensors in biomechanical studies allows for detailed analyses of body posture, gait, muscle activation, and joint kinematics, leading to more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatments. Moreover, in the context of rehabilitation, sensors facilitate the real-time tracking of patients' functional abilities, thus informing clinicians on the efficacy of therapeutic approaches and guiding necessary adjustments. Wearable sensors, for instance, can provide valuable insights into patients' daily activities, helping determine the effectiveness of prescribed exercises and further enhancing rehabilitation outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to shed light on current research exploring the application of sensing technology in biomechanics and rehabilitation. We invite you to submit original research papers to the issue.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in J.

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.
