Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There have been great advances in the capture and analysis of human motion in the past two decades: On the one hand, we have seen a rapid development in sensor technology, where smaller sensors are able to capture motion data in high levels of detail at high frame rates. These sensors allow for the capturing of motion parameters over long time periods, collecting data in so-called “out of the lab” scenarios, with high comfort for the user and professional. Based on such data, it is possible to analyze patients’ behaviour in an everyday environment. Even in lab situations, new sensors make it possible to capture details of motion that have not been possible to record in the past.
On the other hand, new techniques for the analysis of large amounts of data have emerged in the last years. Based on machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence approaches, we are now able to gain insights from the recorded data, at much higher levels, leading to a deeper understanding of the underlying motion patterns.
The combination of new hardware and software technology leads to emerging applications and use cases in a broad range of areas. In this Special Issue we want to focus on developments and applications of the abovementioned sensor and software technologies in the field of medicine, rehabilitation, and sport.

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.
