On the Applications of EMG Sensors and Signals-Edition II
This special issue belongs to the section “Intelligent Sensors“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electromyography (EMG) is a technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by muscles. EMG signals can be harvested on the surface of the skin, under the skin, and inside the muscle providing different levels of information. Over the last few decades, there have been considerable advances in sensor technologies, including miniaturization; this has enabled EMG sensors to be applied in many areas, including, but not limited to, electrodiagnostic medicine, robotics, rehabilitation (prostheses, assistive devices), hydration and nutrition, motion analysis, and modeling of handwriting.
This Special Issue attempts to capture the latest advances in EMG sensor development, EMG sensor applications, and EMG signal conditioning, from both theoretical and experimental approaches.

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. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
