Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue of the Sensors journal is to publish articles on the thematic of human motion, balance, and postural control. Articles covering a wide range of applications and situations where sensors can be employed are foreseen, whether on concrete sensor use or on treatment of sensor generated data, in the context of Biomechanics:
- From walking to running.
- From swimming to jumping.
- From day-to-day activities to sports motions.
- For people with and without impairments.
- From wearable sensors to external sensors.
- From local to global data integration and data analysis.
- From IMUs to EMG to ...
Articles found in this Special Issue may contribute to a better understanding of questions such as:
- How to warrant the correct positioning of wearable sensors? Should more than one sensor be used per body segment? Use complimentary types of sensors? Use larger sensors?
- How smart does a sensor need to be, or a local group of sensors?
- How to get submillimetre precision with markerless setups for 3D motion analysis? How many people can be followed simultaneously?
- How to get the system to evaluate in real life conditions, at home, at work, outdoors?
- Can wearable sensors systems help prevent falls or assist balance or gait?
- How to increase sensors systems reliability?

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
