New Insights into Motion Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

The symmetry of human movement is frequently understood as a perfect correspondence between the action of the limbs. A healthy adult's movement is usually symmetrical, which reduces energy costs and the risk of overloading the joints. In clinical practice, the evaluation of (a)symmetry, or more specifically, the degree of movement (a)symmetry, is achieved by assessing both the kinematic and kinetic parameters of movement. The determinants of locomotion are often used to assess the normality of movement in sports or rehabilitation process.

In this Special Issue, we welcome papers exploring and providing new insights into the (a)symmetry of human movements, especially during physical activity, sports or rehabilitation.

Submit your paper and select the Journal “Symmetry” and the Special Issue “New Insights into Motion Analysis” via: MDPI submission system. Our papers will be published on a rolling basis and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
