Human Movement Analysis

I am very glad to be a Guest Editor of a Topic Collection on Human Movement analysis, together with my colleagues Prof. Zimi Sawacha and Prof Giseppe Vannozzi.

In particular, this Topic Collection will report on various sensors, such as video recording sensors, IMU (inertial measurement units) plantar pressure sensors, and electromyography. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts for publication in (but not limited to) the following areas:

Biomechanical sensors in disease assessment, functional diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation;
Sensors for movement analysis for assisted living monitoring;
Biomechanical sensors in gait analysis;
Biomechanical sensors in sports;
Movement analysis through dynamic electromyography;
Plantar pressure analysis and gaitography;
Magneto-inertial sensors for human motion tracking;
Force sensors (strain gauge, piezo, etc.);
Ultrasound sensors for human movement analysis;
Goniometers;
Optical tracking systems;
Challenges in data processing, simulation, and validation for human movement analysis;
Challenges in data sensor fusion for human movement analysis;
Technical challenges in assuring the accuracy and robustness of the provided measures (i.e., sensor placement, measurement drift, repeatability of the provided measures);
Wireless sensors for human motion tracking;
Movement analysis and brain activity through mobile assessment (EEG, fNIRS,…)
Novel applications in the continuous monitoring of human motion in rehabilitation;
Measuring biomechanics of either the whole body or individual parts of the body.
