Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in sensor technologies and their applications in human movement analysis. The integration of wearable, optical, and environmental sensors has revolutionized the measurement of biomechanics, motor control, and performance across clinical, sports, and everyday settings. We seek contributions that highlight innovative sensor designs, multimodal data fusion, novel signal processing and machine learning approaches, and validation studies demonstrating accuracy and reliability in real-world conditions. Papers exploring translational applications—from rehabilitation and ergonomics to skill acquisition and human–machine interaction—are particularly encouraged. Both original research and comprehensive reviews are welcome. Through this collection, we aim to showcase cutting-edge methodologies and foster interdisciplinary dialogue on how emerging sensor technologies are shaping the future of human movement science.

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.
