Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The last 20 years have seen unprecedented developments in machine learning systems. Not only new sensors have been developed, but also new analytical methods have been developed that together allow accurate, reliable and fast assessment of human movement. This is especially true for their use in natural rather than laboratory settings, including within telemedicine systems. This makes it possible to supplement knowledge of movement mechanisms, their specific or individual characteristics, related to health or disease, as well as for inference, prediction and the possibility of trend changes. Scientists, engineers and clinicians are still longing for breakthroughs in these areas that could change clinical practice.

This Special Issue “Machine Learning Based Sensing System and Biomedical Motion Analysis for Digital Health” will address but is not limited to the following topics:

  • ML applications for every daily activities;
  • ML applications for sport performance;
  • ML applications for the evaluation of movement in clinical practice;
  • Using ML for the evaluation of movement variability and postural control;
  • Methodological aspects of human movement analysis using motion capture;
  • New sensors for human movement applications, including wearable;
  • Novel approaches to data processing in human movement analysis;
  • AI-based reasoning, prediction, and trend analysis;
  • Digital twins and novel tools for eHealth;
  • Uncertainty in data or incompleteness etc. resolved by fuzzy logic.

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.

A force plate is mainly used in biomechanics; it aims to measure the ground reaction force in a person’s walking or standing position. In this study, a large-area force mat of the piezoresistance sensing type was developed, and a deep-learning-based weight measurement calibration method was applied to solve the problem in which measurements are not normalized because of physical limitations in hardware and signal processing. The test set was composed of the values measured at each point by weight and the value of the center of the pressure variable, and the measured value was predicted using a deep neural network (DNN) regression model. The calibration verification results show that the average weight errors range from a minimum of 0.06% to a maximum of 3.334%. This is simpler than the previous method, which directly measures the ratio of the resistance value to the measured weight of each sensor and derives an equation. Full article
