Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common orthopaedic diseases affecting lower extremity joints, especially the knee and hip. There is currently no cure for OA. Pharmaceutical and non- pharmaceutical therapies are often recommended for patients with earlier stages of OA. While joint arthroplasty including partial and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) arthroplasty is a popular choice for end-stage OA, post-surgery rehabilitation remains a challenge to the patients and clinicians.
This Special Issue of “Biomechanics of Orthopaedic Rehabilitation” focuses on advances in biomechanics of rehabilitations related to joint arthroplasty and OA. The topics of this Special Issue are broadly defined and some suggested (but not limited) topics are listed below.
- Gait rehabilitation;
- Cycling-related applications in rehabilitation;
- Muscle activation inhibition and kinesiophobia;
- Edema and pain;
- Muscle strengthening and conditioning;
- Surgical techniques;
- Implant designs.

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
