Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the second edition of this Special Issue of Sensors and to invite you to submit a manuscript. The original Special Issue can be accessed at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/Y82VW94F7P. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of consumer-level smart sensors and wearables designed for movement monitoring. However, there is often a lack of academic research and validation on the methods used by these devices. This Special Issue aims to compile original research and review articles on recent advances in sensors for human movement recognition and analysis. Potential applications include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Assistive technology;
- Rehabilitation;
- Sport Science;
- Smart PPE equipment.
Please note that, in accordance with MDPI Sensors’ scope, full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Additionally, manuscripts containing data from human participants must obtain ethics approval from the relevant authorizing bodies. Cross-disciplinary research collaborations between engineers and health science clinicians or researchers are of particular interest, as these collaborations can provide valuable feedback on the clinical validity of the measurements.
Prof. Dr. Iain D. Murray
Guest Editor
