Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will investigate the intersection of biomechanics, medical engineering, and technology to facilitate participation in martial arts for individuals with disabilities.
Potential themes include the development and evaluation of adaptive martial arts equipment (e.g., prosthetics, modified supports); biomechanical analysis of movement patterns in disabled martial artists and the design of tailored training approaches; the use of sensors, motion capture, and data analysis to optimize techniques and performance for disabled athletes; and applications of assistive technologies (e.g., exoskeletons) to enhance movement and safety within martial arts practice.
This issue aims to showcase original research, case studies, and reviews that highlight the potential of technology to promote inclusivity, empowerment, and athletic achievement in martial arts for those with disabilities.
