“…To understand the results of our review, it is important to consider the current understanding of proprioception feedback, arising from both joint mechanoreceptors (providing information regarding internal mechanical forces, muscle length, joint velocity, stiffness, deep pressure, acceleration/deceleration, tensile strain, joint motion, and joint position sense) 48,49 and cutaneous mechanoreceptors (providing information derived from external stimuli [discriminatory touch, pressure, skin movement À slip or flutter, skin stretching, vibration, and textures]). 47 We believe that if proprioceptive input came solely from cutaneous mechanoreceptors, our review could have found positive proprioceptive gains with PJPS and kinesthesia outcomes, as it can be theorized that a passive task does not primarily involve active mechanical tissue deformation surrounding a joint.…”

“…Subthreshold vibration is a proprioceptive training that can improve the function and sensitivity of mechanoreceptors themselves. Subthreshold vibration could improve the function and sensitivity of mechanoreceptors both neurologically and morphologically[ 51 ]. Subthreshold vibration could improve fatigability by improving neural signals that arise from muscle spindles and other mechanoreceptors[ 52 ].…”

“…Subthreshold vibration as a proprioceptive training can enhance the muscle spindle signals, causing plastic modifications in the central nervous system (CNS), such as improving synaptic network strength and/or normalizing the structure and numbers of networks amid neurons. Consequently, plastic modifications in the cortex occur leading to an enhancement in cortical maps of the body, and cortical representation of the joints[ 51 ].…”

Muscle fatigue is common in many populations, particularly elderlies. Aging increases the incidence of muscle fatigue and delays its recovery. There is a huge debate about the current treatments for muscle fatigue, particularly in elderlies. Recently, it has been discovered that mechanoreceptors have an important role as a sensory system in sensing muscle fatigue which could enhance the body's response to muscle fatigue. The function of mechanoreceptors could be enhanced by applying either suprathreshold or subthreshold vibration. Although suprathreshold vibration improves muscle fatigue, it can cause desensitization of cutaneous receptors, discomfort, and paresthesia, which are barriers to clinical use. Subthreshold vibration has been approved as a safe and effective method of training for mechanoreceptors; however, its use and effectiveness in muscle fatigue have never been tested or explained. Possible physiological effects of subthreshold vibration in the treatment of muscle fatigue include: (1) Enhancing the function of mechanoreceptors themselves; (2) Increasing the firing rate and function of alpha motor neurons; (3) Increasing blood flow to fatigued muscles; (4) Decreasing the rate of muscle cell death in elderlies (sarcopenia); and (5) Driving motor commands and allow better performance of muscles to decrease fatigue incidence. In conclusion, the use of subthreshold vibration could be a safe and effective treatment for muscle fatigue in elderlies. It could enhance recovery from muscle fatigue. Finally, Subthreshold Vibration is safe and effective in treating muscle fatigue in comparison to suprathreshold vibration.

“…Proprioceptive and tactile feedback are indispensable for sensorimotor integration in daily activities of human, especially for control of dexterous movement. For amputees, the muscle spindle, tendon, tactile receptor, and afferent fibers in the muscle of the residual limb are damaged and cannot work normally ( Kaya et al, 2018 ). So proprioceptive substitution helps amputee sense the prosthesis, improves the confidence ( Schiefer et al, 2018 ), and controls the prosthesis better ( Grushko et al, 2020 ; Guémann et al, 2022 ).…”

ObjectiveSensory feedback of upper-limb prostheses is widely desired and studied. As important components of proprioception, position, and movement feedback help users to control prostheses better. Among various feedback methods, electrotactile stimulation is a potential method for coding proprioceptive information of a prosthesis. This study was motivated by the need for proprioception information for a prosthetic wrist. The flexion-extension (FE) position and movement information of the prosthetic wrist are transmitted back to the human body through multichannel electrotactile stimulation.ApproachWe developed an electrotactile scheme to encode the FE position and movement of the prosthetic wrist and designed an integrated experimental platform. A preliminary experiment on the sensory threshold and discomfort threshold was performed. Then, two proprioceptive feedback experiments were performed: a position sense experiment (Exp 1) and a movement sense experiment (Exp 2). Each experiment included a learning session and a test session. The success rate (SR) and discrimination reaction time (DRT) were analyzed to evaluate the recognition effect. The acceptance of the electrotactile scheme was evaluated by a questionnaire.Main resultsOur results showed that the average position SRs of five able-bodied subjects, amputee 1, and amputee 2 were 83.78, 97.78, and 84.44%, respectively. The average movement SR, and the direction and range SR of wrist movement in five able-bodied subjects were 76.25, 96.67%, respectively. Amputee 1 and amputee 2 had movement SRs of 87.78 and 90.00% and direction and range SRs of 64.58 and 77.08%, respectively. The average DRT of five able-bodied subjects was less than 1.5 s and that of amputees was less than 3.5 s.ConclusionThe results indicate that after a short period of learning, the subjects can sense the position and movement of wrist FE. The proposed substitutive scheme has the potential for amputees to sense a prosthetic wrist, thus enhancing the human-machine interaction.
