<div><b>Abstract:</b></div>
<div>This Special Session focuses on emerging and rapidly developing
areas at the intersection between neuromusculoskeletal modeling,
biomechatronics and wearable technologies. It will showcase
innovative research aimed to increase our understanding of motor
function and impairment as well as how wearable assistive devices
can contribute to modulate, replace or restore human motor
capacity. Furthermore, It will discuss how subject-specific
features of anatomy, physiology, and impairment can be accounted
for in the development of truly personalized assistive solutions.
Finally, it will serve as a forum to examine future key challenges
in the field and promising strategies for addressing them</div>
