“…This absence of significant age-related difference supported previous studies showing that older adults were able to reach levels of proprioceptive control performance comparable to those observed in young adults (Batavia et al 1999;Boisgontier et al 2012;Deshpande et al 2003;Goble et al 2012a, b;Marks 1996;Pickard et al 2003). The splitting of the total error into variable and constant errors confirmed this similar pattern of end-point results between age groups.…”

“…It was hypothesised that (1) the ability to accurately match the proprioceptive target in the self-selected speed condition was not different between young and older adults. Indeed, although it was against an increased cognitive cost and additional neural resources, previous studies showed that older adults were able to reach levels of proprioceptive control of movement comparable to those of young adults (Batavia et al 1999;Boisgontier et al 2012;Deshpande et al 2003;Goble et al 2012a, b;Heuninckx et al 2008;Marks 1996;Pickard et al 2003). However, on the basis of the differences observed in motor imagery (Personnier et al 2010(Personnier et al , 2008Skoura et al 2005) and kinematic studies (Elliott and Hansen 2010;Goggin and Meeuwsen 1992;ReyRobert et al 2012; Seidler-Dobrin and Stelmach 1998), we hypothesised that (2) older adults were not able to reach the same level of end-point performance as the young adults in the fast speed condition due to the temporal constraints, making it impossible to use additional sub-movements to compensate for the presumably altered internal models.…”

Ageing of internal models: from a continuous to an intermittent proprioceptive control of movement

To control the sensory-motor system, internal models mimic the transformations between motor commands and sensory signals. The present study proposed to assess the effects of physiological adult ageing on the proprioceptive control of movement and the related internal models. To this aim, one group of young adults and one group of older adults performed an ankle contralateral concurrent matching task in two speed conditions (self-selected and fast). Error, temporal and kinematic variables were used to assess the matching performance. The results demonstrated that older adults used a different mode of control as compared to the young adults and suggested that the internal models of proprioceptive control were altered with ageing. Behavioural expressions of these alterations were dependent upon the considered condition of speed. In the self-selected speed condition, this alteration was expressed through an increased number of corrective sub-movements in older adults as compared to their young peers. This strategy enabled them to reach a level of end-point performance comparable to the young adults' performance. In the fast speed condition, older adults were no more able to compensate for their impaired internal models through additional corrective sub-movements and therefore decreased their proprioceptive control performance. These results provided the basis for a model of proprioceptive control of movement integrating the internal models theory and the continuous and intermittent modes of control. This study also suggested that motor control was affected by the frailty syndrome, i.e. a decreased resistance to stressors, which characterises older adults.

“…It is interesting to note that Pickard et al [52] did not find significant differences when comparing the hip joint position between sedentary young subjects and active aged subjects (mean age: 75±6 years), that practiced physical activity 10 (range 3 to 20) hours per week. The authors justified the lack of differences between subjects because the aged group was physically active.…”

“…Sense of limb movement determines detection of passive motion of the limb [25]. Both components of proprioception are important for the generation of smooth and coordinated movements, maintenance of normal body posture, regulation of balance and postural control, and motor learning and relearning [52,73]. This importance was demonstrated by Ghez and Sainburg [21] and Ghez et al [22] using deafferented patients.…”

Throughout the human life span the functions of several physiological systems dramatically change, including proprioception. Impaired proprioception leads to less accurate detection of body position changes increasing the risk of fall, and to abnormal joint biomechanics during functional activities so, over a period of time, degenerative joint disease may result. Altered neuromuscular control of the lower limb and consequently poor balance resulting from changes in the proprioceptive function could be related to the high incidence of harmful falls that occur in old age subjects. There is evidence of proprioception deterioration with aging. Regular physical activity seems to be a beneficial strategy to preserve proprioception and prevent falls among older subjects. Some studies have demonstrated that the regular physical activity can attenuate age-related decline in proprioception. This paper reviews the evidence of age effects on joint proprioception. We will discuss the possible mechanisms behind these effects and the role of regular physical activity in the attenuation of age-related decline in proprioception.

“…The limitation was not addressed as it is extremely difficult to accurately quantify one's lifelong history of physical activity. As a result, dividing participants based on the results of a physical activity questionnaire remains a common practice in motor control research (e.g., Adamo et al 2007;Adamo et al 2009;McGregor et al 2011;Petrella et al 1997;Pickard et al 2003;Wright et al 2011).…”

The present study examines whether nonactive older adults are more dependent on visual information when executing aiming movements and whether age-related declines in proprioception play a mediating role herein. Young (N = 40) and older adults (N = 38) were divided into physically active and non-active subgroups based on self-reported sports participation levels. In experiment 1, participants executed wrist-aiming movements with and without visual feedback. In experiment 2, passive proprioceptive acuity was assessed using wrist motion detection and position matching tests. Results showed similar aiming accuracy across age groups both with and without visual feedback, but older adults exhibited longer movement times, prolonged homing-in phase, and made more corrective submovements. Passive proprioceptive acuity was significantly affected by physical activity level and age, with participants in the active group scoring better than their non-active peers. However, these declines did not predict performance changes on the aiming task. Taken together, our observations suggest that decline in proprioceptive acuity did not predict performance changes on the aiming task and older adults were able to compensate for their decreased motion and position sense when allowed sufficient time. In line with these observations, we proposed that older adults are able to compensate for their decline in proprioception by increasing their reliance on predictive models.

Is There a Difference in Hip Joint Position Sense Between Young and Older Groups?

Abstract: In this study, no difference in hip JPS was found between young and older subjects. Accuracy was greater in the inner range, with active repositioning demonstrating higher precision compared to passive repositioning of the limb.
