Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In all pathological changes to the locomotor system of the human body, either via trauma or due to degeneration, injury biomechanics play a major role in their development. In this, for example, the aspect of kinematic chains is a crucial factor when considering the cause of such injuries. Investigating these biomechanics and thus evaluating ways to minimize the risk of acquiring damage via trauma or degenerative changes is one major aspect in injury prevention.
The main scope of this Special Issue lies therefore in the evaluation of injury pathophysiology due either to trauma or the degeneration of the musculoskeletal system. Relevant topographical aspects of these mechanisms may also be addressed. Apart from this main topic, manuscripts addressing surgical approaches to injury treatment with a specific biomechanical focus are also welcome.

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.
