Locomotion Biomechanics and Motor Control

Dear Colleagues,

Motor control and biomechanics have gradually developed important research fields in human/Animal movement. Locomotion biomechanics is a fascinating interdisciplinary research field that addresses key aspects of how the biological motor system is designed and controlled. Its research field comprises the function of the musculoskeletal system (body mechanics), neuromuscular system (Neurocontrol and Neuromodulation) as well as the organization of sensorimotor functions (motor control and learning). Motor control underlies motion, balance, stability, coordination, and our interaction with others. The integration between biomechanics and motor control deserves more attention and discussion.

This special issue focuses on collecting papers that investigate motor control based on complicated locomotion biomechanics methodologies and use biomechanical theories. It also aims to explore the key techniques, theories, and applications of locomotion biomechanics and motion control. This Special Issue welcomes original research and review papers covering the following topics(including but not limited to):

• Locomotion;
• Movement;
• Gait analysis;
• Posture and balance;
• Kinematics;
• Motor control.

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. Biomechanics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
