Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable systems have gained significant relevance in the biomedical field for monitoring health status and providing clinically relevant objective data. Innovative processes and integrated developments have made possible the application of unobtrusive and non-invasive sensing elements for monitoring joint kinematics.
The application horizons of wearable systems are expanding in several directions, as they are of strong interest for real-time/remote monitoring of rehabilitation processes and functional recovery in a wide patient population. Optimized hardware development and improvements in computationally reliable data processing algorithms are crucial. This Special Issue will greatly impact a range of biomedical scenarios, providing new insights into developing and applying wearable systems for monitoring joint kinematics.
We strongly encourage authors to submit relevant papers focusing on developing hardware and software components of wearable systems for joint kinematics monitoring, performance evaluation, data processing, and application of wearable systems for monitoring human joints.

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.
