Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the upcoming Special Issue of Journal of Functional Biomaterials entitled Biomedical Applications of Wearable Movement Sensors. This Special Issue is open to authors who wish to submit their research and review articles related to the usage of wearable movement sensors for biomedical purposes.
Wearable sensing technology is represented by devices worn by persons being examined, and therefore allows continuous physiological monitoring with reduced manual intervention. The wearable sensors used for healthcare purposes can be categorized into biopotential, optical, stretch and pressure, chemical, and inertial measurement units. The sensors are used, for example, for activity and fitness monitoring, biomechanical analysis, rehabilitation, disease management, disease prediction, early disease detection, and safety purposes, including fall detection. Besides technical advancements, daily usage and implementation in clinical and home-based settings are of rising interest for researchers, clinicians, and decision makers.
The main topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Technical validity, reliability, and clinical validity of wearable movement sensors;
- Clinical application of wearable movement sensors in chronic conditions and after an injury;
- Usage of wearable movement sensors for injury prevention and sports performance;
- Instrumented clinical assessments;
- Telerehabilitation with the use of wearable movement sensors;
- Smartphone-based movement monitoring;
- Systematic reviews on wearable movement sensors usage.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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.
