This is a review of the proprioceptive senses generated as a result of our own actions. They
include the senses of position and movement of our limbs and trunk, the sense of effort, the …

Much emphasis has been placed on the specific role of specific inputs from muscle, joint and
cutaneous afferents in the detection of movement. However, particularly for the hand …

Defines proprioception and its functions in human skin, muscles, and joint tissues.
Proprioception as a compound sense; Position sense largely mediated by activity in muscle …

In addition to being a prerequisite for many activities of daily living, the ability to maintain
steady upright standing is a relevant model to study sensorimotor integrative function …

As the percentage of individuals over the age of 60 years continues to rise, determining the
extent and functional significance of age-related declines in sensorimotor performance is of …

We studied proprioception with the ankle joint and the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint of
the index finger of humans by use of a method that could distinguish a position sense from a …

Proprioception, the sense of where one is in space, is essential for effective interaction with
the environment. A lack of or reduction in proprioceptive acuity has been directly correlated …

This study was based on the assumption that the central processing of proprioceptive inputs
that arise from numerous muscles contributes to both awareness and control of body …

Throughout the human life span the functions of several physiological systems dramatically
change, including proprioception. Impaired proprioception leads to less accurate detection …

The role of muscle afferents is discussed in terms of their contribution to kinesthesia, the
senses of position and movement of the limbs. It is argued that muscle spindles are not well …
