“…Our findings do not support the existence of this relationship. According to previous studies that showed positive association between physical activity and proprioceptive acuity (8,30), proprioception can be improved by physical activity, but apparently not by body-related attention.…”

Purpose: Proprioception plays an essential role in motor control and in psychological functioning: it is the basis of body schema and the feeling of body ownership. There are individual differences in the processing accuracy of proprioceptive stimuli. Although proprioceptive acuity plays an important role in physical competence, there are contradictory findings concerning the role it plays in healthy psychological functioning. This study aims to shed more light on this association. Material and methods: Sixty-eight young adults participated in this study. We estimated proprioceptive acuity by the reposition accuracy of elbow joint positions. We tested both dominant and non-dominant hands with two different versions of Joint Position Reproduction Test. Perceived physical competence, body awareness, and affectivity were assessed using questionnaires (Physical Competence scale of Body Consciousness Questionnaire, Somatic Absorption Scale, and Positive and Negative Affectivity Schedule, respectively). Results: No significant association between proprioceptive acuity and body awareness, perceived body competence, and positive and negative affect was found. Conclusion: Proprioceptive acuity, measured in the elbow joint, does not play a substantial role in body awareness, perceived body competence, and affect.This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited, a link to the CC License is provided, and changesif anyare indicated.

“…Individuals with an injured knee demonstrated passive MDSs ranging from 0.5° to 12° (including extension and flexion movements) compared to 0.5°-3.0° in the control group (Fridén et al 1996). Several factors may influence variability in proprioception sense between subjects including age, musculoskeletal and neurological injuries, and exercise (Ribeiro and Oliveira 2011;Hasan 1992).…”

The relationship between lower limb proprioceptive sense and locomotor skill acquisition

Sensorimotor integration is essential for controlling movement and acquiring new motor tasks in humans. The aim of this project was to understand how lower limb proprioceptive sense contributes to the acquisition of a skilled walking task. We assessed lower limb joint position and movement detection sense in healthy human subjects using the Lokomat robotic exoskeleton. Subjects walked on a treadmill to practice a skilled motor task (200 trials) requiring them to match their foot height during the swing phase to the height of a virtual obstacle displayed on a monitor in front of them. Subjects were given visual feedback on their error relative to the obstacle height after it was crossed. Lower limb joint position sense was related to the final performance error, but not the learning rate of the skilled walking task. The findings from this study support the role of lower limb proprioceptive sense on locomotor skill performance in healthy adult subjects.

“…Then the subject has to determine whether they are able to detect the stimulus (absolute threshold), or subject can make comparison between the constant stimuli at different levels (difference threshold) [21]. The subjects compare two movements, one which have clearly defined start and end positions and other determines which stimulus is greater.…”

“…Due to the limited number of investigations and the inconsistency of its results, which likely resulted from the methodological differences, the influence of cryotherapy on proprioception is still to be clearly ascertained [21].…”

Proprioception plays an important role in the complex mechanism of joint control. Proprioceptive training is popularly applied as preventive or rehabilitative exercise method in various sports and rehabilitation settings. The primary purpose of this narrative review is to evaluate the current literature and to provide further insight about proprioception.The objective is to answer few important questions:• What are the factors affecting it?• How to evaluate proprioception?• What are the tools and technique required for the assessment?• How to train, improve, and progress in proprioceptive training?This evidence based study helps to guide rehabilitation professionals in selecting appropriate, effective strategies when managing issues related to position sense.
