Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue aims to bring together the state-of-the-art information about the modern data analysis methods in clinical motion analysis, clinical signal processing, innovative sensor systems and sensor networks, handling, and storage of public health data. Special attention will be reserved for methods involving artificial intelligence, machine learning, and classification.
The methodological papers can be focussed both on the metrological features and on the clinical applications of the methods. In fact, human motion analysis is acquiring considerable importance in clinical practice as it provides helpful support to the diagnosis and follow-up of patients. The current research is going towards novel methodologies aimed to: (i) simplify the data collection procedures from the clinical point of view, (ii) increase the accuracy and reliability of the measurements, (iii) identify reliable functional evaluation methods, (iv) increase the knowledge about motor-related pathologies and the effect of treatments.
To this purpose, novel measurement protocols and sensors, data processing, and classification methods are strongly needed and are currently the object of extensive research.
This special issue is, therefore, an opportunity to collect innovative and high quality papers on the following topics: biomechanics, comfort, ergonomics, human motion analysis, performance evaluation, occupational medicine, rehabilitation medicine, work-related injuries, modern measurement techniques, sensors and sensor systems, wireless sensor networks, data processing methods, machine learning applied to human performance, clinical information systems and data storage, digital healthcare.
Papers concerning topics related to the previously listed ones may also be considered. Both original research and review articles are open to submission in this issue.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2500 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
