By investigating structural and functional changes in the central and peripheral nervous systems based on neuromechanical theories and findings, we can expand our knowledge regarding underlying neurophysiological mechanisms and specific motor impairment patterns before and after therapies to further develop new training programs (e.g., non-invasive brain stimulation). Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to present the main contributions of researchers and rehabilitation specialists in biomechanics, motor control, neurophysiology, neuroscience, and rehabilitation science. The current collection provides new neuromechanical approaches addressing theoretical, methodological, and practical topics for facilitating motor recovery progress.Public health & preventive medicinebicsscobesitygaitadaptationrehabilitationresistance trainingarterial stiffnesspulse wave velocityaugmentation indexH:M ratioThomas testvertical jumpIdiopathic Toe Walkingfall riskfoot contact dynamicsfoot initial contactpush-offbilateral deficitpostmenopausalhand-grip strengthdominant handpulse wave analysischronic strokebimanual movementbimanual force controlaffectphysical fitnessdance-based group exercisewearable technologysmartwatchpostural stabilityolder adultsstepping on a stairtime to stabilizationsedentary behaviorcore stabilization trainingneuromuscular propertiesmuscle functionkneeneuromuscular controlforce controlvariabilitycomplexityasymmetryPublic health & preventive medicineKang Nyeonjuedt1319291Kang NyeonjuothBOOK9910619469903321New Trends in Neuromechanics and Motor Rehabilitation3033705UNINA
