Neurorehabilitation Robotics: Recent Trends and Novel Applications

Dear colleagues,

In the last few years, there has been a growing interest in the application of robotics in the rehabilitation of various neurological conditions. While rehabilitation robotics has the potential to assist patients, their family members, and clinical teams in the long and arduous rehabilitation process, the use of such technologies has not yet reached its full potential in terms of being in routine clinical and research usage.

This Special Issue aims to discuss state-of-the-art research and methodologies, addressing the challenges facing researchers and clinicians in the various fields and applications of robot rehabilitation. These fields can be related, but not limited, to the following:

• Motor control and motor learning;
• Robotics for upper-limb or lower-limb rehabilitation;
• Gait and balance robotics;
• Robotics for stroke and other neurological condition rehabilitation;
• Exoskeleton, end effector, and social robots for neurorehabilitation;
• Gamification;
• Application of EEG and EMG in neurorobotics.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Robotics 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 1800 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.
