About this Research Topic
In the realm of sports medicine, injuries such as rotator cuff and cruciate ligament damage pose significant challenges not only to athletes but also to the wider population, affecting their health, quality of life, and economic productivity. Recent cutting-edge developments bridging medical and engineering fields have introduced innovative injury prevention, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies tailored to individual needs, offering hope for more effective recovery processes. These interdisciplinary solutions reduce the incidence and severity of injuries, enhance both the precision of diagnoses and the efficacy of treatment protocols, focusing on patient-specific requirements.
This Research Topic aims to highlight state-of-the-art interdisciplinary practices and methodologies emerging at the crossroads of medical and engineering sciences. The goal is to uncover new insights into the biomechanical, biomedical, and technological interventions that can propel the management and prevention of sports injuries forward. By integrating advanced imaging, AI technologies, biomechanics, and smart materials, this research will advance our understanding of injury mechanisms and offer more effective strategies for both preventing injuries and promoting faster, more individualized recovery.
To gather further insights into the intersection of these fields, we welcome contributions that explore a range of innovative themes including:
o Advanced Imaging and Diagnostic Tools
o Biomechanical Engineering for Injury Prevention and Management
o Customized Treatment Approaches through Biomedical Technologies
o Innovations in Biomaterials for Tissue Regeneration and Sports Injury Prevention and Repair
o AI Applications in Predicting and Improving Rehabilitation Outcomes
o Engineering Insights in Post-Injury Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy
o Technological Interventions for Injury Risk Assessment and Prevention
Through this focused exploration, the collection aims to bridge critical gaps between experimental advancements and practical applications, fostering collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and practitioners in enhancing sports injury management.
