“…Proprioception, the sensory ability to perceive joint position and movement, is another critical aspect affected by hip OA [10]. Proprioceptive information is integral for the central nervous system to produce appropriate motor responses for joint stabilization and coordinated movements [11]. In hip OA, the deterioration of joint mechanoreceptors alters proprioceptive feedback, leading to a decline in joint reposition sense (JRS), which may further compromise functional balance and increase the risk of falls [4,12,13].…”

The objectives of this study are to compare hip muscle strength, hip joint proprioception, and functional balance between individuals with unilateral hip OA and asymptomatic individuals and to examine the relationships among these variables in the hip OA population. In a prospective cross-sectional study, 122 participants (unilateral Hip OA: n = 56, asymptomatic: n = 56) were assessed at the CAMS/KKU musculoskeletal Physical Therapy laboratory. Ethical standards were upheld throughout the research, with informed consent obtained. Hip muscle strength was measured using a hand-held dynamometer, hip joint proprioception with a digital inclinometer, and functional balance using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Hip OA individuals exhibited significantly lower muscle strength and proprioceptive accuracy, and poorer functional balance than controls (p < 0.003). Correlation analyses revealed a positive correlation between muscle strength and BBS scores (r = 0.38 to 0.42) and a negative correlation with TUG test times (r = -0.36 to -0.41). Hip joint reposition sense (JRS) in flexion showed a negative correlation with balance (r = -0.46), while JRS in abduction was positively correlated (r = 0.46). The study highlights the clinical importance of muscle strength and proprioception in functional balance among individuals with unilateral hip OA. The results support the incorporation of muscle strengthening and proprioceptive training in interventions to improve balance and mobility in this population.

“…Prior research has elucidated the fundamental significance of cervical proprioception in maintaining postural stability and coordinating head movements [12]. Studies have highlighted the critical role of proprioceptive signals from cervical muscles and ligaments in modulating the activity of neck muscles to maintain an upright posture and stabilize the head during various tasks [10,13].…”

Cervical proprioception and postural stability play crucial roles in maintaining optimal head and neck positioning, yet their relationship and implications in cervical spondylosis (CS) remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate cervical proprioceptive reposition errors, limits of stability, and their association in individuals with CS while considering the mediating effects of pain and kinesiophobia. The primary objectives are to compare cervical proprioceptive reposition errors and limits of stability variables between individuals with CS and age-matched healthy controls, explore their associations within the CS group, and determine the mediating roles of pain and kinesiophobia. A cross-sectional study recruited 60 individuals with CS and 60 healthy controls. Cervical joint reposition errors (JREs) were assessed using a cervical range-of-motion device, while limits of stability were evaluated using a computerized dynamic posturography system. Pain, kinesiophobia, and demographic data were collected. Parametric tests, correlation analyses, and multiple regression were employed for data analysis. Individuals with CS exhibited significantly higher cervical JREs in flexion, extension, and rotation compared with healthy controls (p < 0.001). Within the CS group, correlations revealed associations between JREs and limits-of-stability variables (p < 0.05). Mediation analysis demonstrated significant direct and indirect effects of pain and kinesiophobia on the relationship between JREs and limits-of-stability variables in the CS group (p < 0.005). CS is associated with impaired cervical proprioception, increased reposition errors, and compromised postural stability. This study highlights the interplay between proprioception, stability, pain, and psychological factors, emphasizing the need for comprehensive interventions in individuals with CS to enhance functional outcomes and quality of life.

“…Proprioception, the perception and awareness of limb and body position, is critical for motor control and maintaining balance during functional activities ( 6 ). It relies on a complex interplay of sensory inputs from mechanoreceptors in muscles, tendons, and joints ( 6 ). Proprioceptive deficits have been observed in musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions, contributing to impaired motor control, decreased postural stability, and an increased risk of falls ( 7 ).…”

BackgroundOsteoporosis, characterized by reduced bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration, poses a significant public health concern due to increased fracture susceptibility. Beyond bone health, this cross-sectional study aimed to assess and compare lower extremity proprioception and postural stability in individuals with and without osteoporosis and to explore their correlation within the osteoporosis group.MethodIn this prospective cross-sectional study, 80 participants were divided into two groups: osteoporosis (n = 40) and control (n = 40). The demographic characteristics and clinical parameters of the participants were as follows: Age (years) – Osteoporosis group: 65.04 ± 4.33, Control group: 65.24 ± 4.63; Sex (%) – Osteoporosis group: Male 30%, Female 70%; Control group: Male 30%, Female 70%; Body mass index (kg/m2) – Osteoporosis group: 23.7 ± 3.2, Control group: 24.5 ± 4.6; T-score (Lumbar) – Osteoporosis group: −2.86 ± 1.23, Control group: 0.27 ± 0.58; T-score (hip) – Osteoporosis group: −2.28 ± 0.79, Control group: 0.68 ± 0.86. Joint Position Sense (JPS) at the hip, knee, and ankle was assessed using a digital inclinometer, and postural stability was measured using computerized force platforms.ResultOsteoporosis participants exhibited higher errors in hip (5.63° vs. 2.36°), knee (4.86° vs. 1.98°), and ankle (4.46° vs. 2.02°) JPS compared to controls. Postural stability measures showed increased anterior–posterior sway (10.86 mm vs. 3.98 mm), medial-lateral sway (8.67 mm vs. 2.89 mm), and ellipse area (966.88 mm2 vs. 446.19 mm2) in osteoporosis participants. Furthermore, correlation analyses within the osteoporosis group unveiled significant positive associations between lower extremity proprioception and postural stability. Specifically, hip JPS exhibited a strong positive correlation with anterior–posterior sway (r = 0.493, p = 0.003), medial-lateral sway (r = 0.485, p = 0.003), and ellipse area (r = 0.496, p < 0.001). Knee JPS displayed a moderate positive correlation with anterior–posterior sway (r = 0.397, p = 0.012), medial-lateral sway (r = 0.337, p = 0.032), and ellipse area (r = 0.378, p < 0.001). Similarly, ankle JPS showed a moderate positive correlation with anterior–posterior sway (r = 0.373, p = 0.023), medial-lateral sway (r = 0.308, p = 0.045), and ellipse area (r = 0.368, p = 0.021).ConclusionThese findings underscore the interplay between proprioceptive deficits, compromised postural stability, and osteoporosis, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to improve fall prevention strategies and enhance the quality of life for individuals with osteoporosis.
