“…Children with somatosensory deficits, observed when they are older, have difficulty functioning in their everyday lives (Blanche, Reinoso, et al., 2012 ; Falk et al., 2010 ; Fatoye et al., 2009 ; Johnston et al., 1987 ; Mon‐Williams et al., 1999 ; Schneck, 1991 ; Weimer et al., 2001 ), such as with feeding, dressing, and playing. Studies have linked poor proprioception with motor difficulties in older children, including poor balance and postural control (Blanche, Bodison, et al., 2012 ; Weimer et al., 2001 ), difficulties with force gradation (Dunn, 1999 ; Parham & Ecker, 2007 ), handwriting difficulties (Falk et al., 2010 ; Schneck, 1991 ), and poor coordination (Fatoye et al., 2009 ; Johnston et al., 1987 ; Mon‐Williams et al., 1999 ). Although studies have shown, in adults and animal models, loss of proprioception can be accommodated by increasing reliance on visual feedback (Bard et al., 1995 ; Bernier et al., 2006 ; Bossom & Ommaya, 1968 ; Ingram et al., 2000 ; Miall et al., 2018 ), this process is highly cognitive intensive (Ingram et al., 2000 ; Miall et al., 2018 ) and thus results in less efficient movement patterns (Sainburg et al., 1995 ).…”
