Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting manuscript submissions for a Special Issue on “Neuromechanics: The Relationship between Neural Control and Musculoskeletal Biomechanics”.
In this Special issue, the relationship between motor control and musculoskeletal biomechanical is addressed. To generate the movement of simple or complex body segments, neurological and biomechanical control is required. To control a targeted movement, an infinite number of segmented trajectories are available, all under the control of several actuators (muscles) that should be co-ordinated. Understanding how an individual's central nervous system directs all different levels of redundancy and how it manages the different biomechanical constraints to select a solution to perform the movement remains a scientific challenge.
The aim of this Special issue is to summarize the most important neuro-biomechanical parameters influencing human performance related to the health sciences and sports in individuals with different ages and with various clinical conditions.

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. 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.
