Innovative Methods in Biomechanics and Human Movement Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Biomechanics is an interdisciplinary science encompassing biomechanical engineering, sport and exercise sciences, medical sciences and physics, computer science and ergonomics as well as physiotherapy and rehabilitation. This field has seen a dynamic increase in the number of publications over the past two decades. Biomechanics has a general focus on understanding problems related to the structure and function of different tissues and the mechanics of the human body. The study of human body segment movements in light of the control imposed by the nervous system responsible for static and dynamic stabilization is one of the main foci of human movement analyses. Biomechanical studies have also focused on investigating the mechanical behavior of the organs and tissues during different activities to reduce injury risk or to promote effective healing. Given the complexity of the mechanics of the human body and the intricacies of movement during different activities, there is a need for innovative methods in the study of biomechanics and human movement analysis. This Special Issue welcomes studies that combine novelties in the study of human biomechanics and movement analyses. This also includes studies where traditional biomechanical methods of capturing the human body's form and function are combined with innovative methods of analyzing data, including the computational, mathematical, and statistical modeling and artificial intelligence approaches.   

We would like to invite you to submit your research to this Special Issue.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
