Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increase in the elderly population and rising prevalence of chronic conditions require advancements in assistive and rehabilitation technologies. Intelligent sensors play a pivotal role in the development of such technologies as they allow the patient to be monitored while offering the possibility of implementing smart control strategies for more fluent human–device interaction. This Special Issue aims to explore how intelligent sensors are being leveraged to create smarter assistive and rehabilitation devices.
The Special Issue welcomes contributions from the academic community in the following areas:
- Sensor-based technologies for balance maintenance, gait and physical activity assessment.
- Intelligent prosthetics and active orthotics.
- Embedded systems for rehabilitation monitoring.
- Human–computer interfaces and interactions for assistive technologies.
- Physical-based and data-driven solutions for assistive device prototyping

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
