Basis of Applied Kinesiology, Innovations and Clinical Applications in Musculoskeletal Health

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue aims to explore the latest advancements and clinical applications of applied kinesiology in the context of musculoskeletal health. We invite contributions that delve into innovative research and clinical practices that enhance the understanding of musculoskeletal function, treatment modalities, and rehabilitative techniques. The scope of this issue covers a range of topics including the efficacy of new therapeutic approaches, biomechanical assessments, neuromuscular adaptations to different physical interventions, and the evolution of methodologies in kinesiology that contribute to improving patient outcomes. We also encourage submissions that examine the integration of technology in kinesiology practice, such as the use of wearable devices, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating musculoskeletal conditions. Additionally, papers that provide insights into the cellular and tissue-level responses to various kinesiological interventions are welcome.

This special issue aims to gather empirical research, systematic reviews, and case studies that collectively advance the field of kinesiology and offer practical insights applicable to clinical settings. Contributions from interdisciplinary teams that highlight collaborative efforts between kinesiologists, physiotherapists, sports scientists, and medical professionals are particularly encouraged.

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. Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology 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 1600 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.
