Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electromyography (EMG) has become a fundamental tool for understanding muscle activation and its role in motor control. By analyzing EMG signals, researchers and clinicians can gain invaluable insights into how the neuromuscular system governs movement during various exercises and activities. This knowledge is crucial for evaluating motor control, preventing injuries, diagnosing musculoskeletal disorders, and improving prognostic and rehabilitation strategies. We are pleased to invite you to submit your research to this Special Issue titled "Motion Control Using EMG Signals". The scope of this Special Issue focuses on the use of EMG to explore muscle activation patterns and motor control across different movements and exercises. Contributions that aim to deepen our understanding of neuromuscular function and its implications for injury prevention and recovery are highly encouraged. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel techniques in EMG signal acquisition and analysis.
- Applications of EMG in motor control and postural control research.
- Using EMG to evaluate running biomechanics and performance.
- Injury prevention and rehabilitation strategies informed by EMG data.
- Diagnosing and monitoring musculoskeletal conditions using EMG.
- Integration of EMG analysis with wearable technologies and real-time feedback systems. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and methodological studies that contribute to this growing field. Your work will help shape future approaches to using EMG as a tool for enhancing clinical applications, sports performance, and functional rehabilitation. We look forward to receiving your contributions to this exciting Special Issue.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Maria José Giménez-Mestre

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.
