Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the role of symmetry in the design, evaluation, and development of biomedical tools and applications. It covers a wide range of topics, incorporating symmetry/asymmetry into the fields of biomedical engineering and brain science, and into the study of cardiovascular, digestive, and respiratory systems. Further topics include the role of symmetry in the evaluation and treatment of populations, e.g., individuals with hemiparesis or unilateral amputees. Special interventions, such as exo-skeletons, specialized shoes and prostheses, and splints and braces—all designed to promote body symmetry/asymmetry—are encouraged herein. This Special Issue will hereby promote a discussion regarding mechanisms surrounding symmetrical conditions, which contribute to the improvement of our daily lives by enhancing health, functionality, and overall participation in daily activities. I would like to invite authors with relevant manuscripts to contribute research papers, communications, and reviews to this Special Issue of Symmetry.

Dr. Takahiro Emoto
Guest Editor

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
