Biomechanics and Motion Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Research in the field of biomechanics and motion analysis has seen rapid growth in recent years. Conducting biomechanical and motion analyses can build on our knowledge and understanding regarding normal human posture and locomotion, pathological movement, physical disorders, and how humans interact with the environment biomechanically, as well as facilitate the development of targeted sport and rehabilitation approaches, etc. With the recent advancements in technology, it is also feasible for researchers to apply a number of state-of-the-art systems, devices, and algorithms with which to study biomechanics and motion, from external body movement to internal cellular responses, from indoor lab settings to the outdoor environment, and from bench experiments to clinical applications.

This Special Issue will focus on recent research and developments in biomechanics and motion analysis.

The journal will be accepting contributions (both original articles and reviews) that mainly focus on the following topics:

• Biomechanics;
• Upper-limb biomechanics;
• Lower-limb biomechanics;
• Spinal biomechanics;
• Motion capture and analysis;
• Interface biomechanics;
• Shear force in ergonomics;
• Pressure in ergonomics;
• Computational orthopedics;
• Physical ergonomics;
• Sports engineering;
• Rehabilitation engineering;
• Biomechanical interaction between humans and environments;
• Postural stability;
• Balance and gait control;
• Physical activity;
• Computer vision algorithms for motion capture and analysis;
• Artificial intelligence (AI) in biomechanics;
• Artificial intelligence (AI) in motion capture and analysis;
• Wearable devices for biomechanical analysis.

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.
