Various methods to assess knee proprioception

Abstract

Introduction: Proprioception is a vital aspect of motor control and when degraded or lost can have a profound impact on function in diverse clinical populations. This systematic review aimed to identify clinically related tools to measure proprioceptive acuity. The major purpose of this systematic review was to identify and categorise the methods that have been developed and utilised to test proprioceptive accuracy in a comprehensive manner. Methods: The pub med, Scopus, Web of Science and the other search engine/databases used: Cochrane database / SCIRE / PEDro / CINAHL/ EMBASE, ERIC were systematically searched. Conclusions: The TTDPM method has less relative ecological validity, but has high conceptual purity, Although JPR tests may have less relative test validity, but more clinically feasible, The AMEDA method appears to have better ecological validity and relatively better test validity and data validity.
