Abstract
Neurological diseases leading to motor deficits constitute significant challenges to healthcare systems. Despite technological advancements in data acquisition, sensor development, data processing, and virtual reality (VR), a suitable framework for patient-centered neuromotor robot-assisted rehabilitation using collective sensor information does not exist. An extensive literature review was achieved based on 124 scientific publications regarding different types of sensors and the usage of the bio-signals they measure for neuromotor robot-assisted rehabilitation. A comprehensive classification of sensors was proposed, distinguishing between specific and non-specific parameters. The classification criteria address essential factors such as the type of sensors, the data they measure, their usability, ergonomics, and their overall impact on personalized treatment. In addition, a framework designed to collect and utilize relevant data for the optimal rehabilitation process efficiently is proposed. The proposed classifications aim to identify a set of key variables that can be used as a building block for a dynamic framework tailored for personalized treatments, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of patient-centered procedures in rehabilitation.

Aims
Bioengineering (ISSN 2306-5354) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of bioengineering. It publishes original research papers, comprehensive reviews, communications and case reports. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. All aspects of bioengineering are welcomed from theoretical concepts to education and applications. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, four key features of this Journal:
● We are introducing a new concept in scientific and technical publications “The Translational Case Report in Bioengineering”. It is a descriptive explanatory analysis of a transformative or translational event. Understanding that the goal of bioengineering scholarship is to advance towards a transformative or clinical solution to an identified transformative/clinical need, the translational case report is used to explore causation in order to find underlying principles that may guide other similar transformative/translational undertakings.
● Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed.
● Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
● We also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds.
