Piezo2 transmembrane excitatory mechanosensitive ion channels were identified as the
principal mechanotransduction channels for proprioception. Recently, it was postulated that …

The sense of position of the body and its limbs is a proprioceptive sense. Proprioceptors are
concerned with monitoring the body's own actions. Position sense is important because it is …

Muscle spindles, one of the two main classes of proprioceptors together with Golgi tendon
organs, are sensory structures that keep the central nervous system updated about the …

Proprioception, the sense of body position in space, has a critical role in the control of
posture and movement. Aside from skin and joint receptors, the main sources of …

Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is characterized by impaired ankle joint position sense (JPS)
and compromised balance. Despite previous studies investigating the correlation between …

The senses of limb position and movement become degraded in low gravity. One
explanation is a gravity-dependent loss of fusimotor activity. In low gravity, position and …

Background: Muscle spindles (MSs) play a crucial role in proprioception and locomotor
coordination. Although the elasticity and viscosity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) within …

Over the past few years, COVID-19 has caused widespread suffering worldwide. There is
great research potential in this domain and it is also necessary. The main objective of this …

Muscle spindle abundance is highly variable within and across species, but we currently
lack any clear picture of the mechanistic causes or consequences of this variation. Previous …

Purpose This study examined eccentric-induced fatigue effects on knee flexor (KF)
neuromuscular function and on knee position sense. This design was repeated across two …
