Charles Sherrington introduced the term ‘proprioception’ in 1906, he describe “the perception of joint and body movement as well as position of the body, or body segments, in space” [1]
How to train, improve, and progress in proprioceptive training? This evidence based study helps to guide rehabilitation professionals in selecting appropriate, effective strategies when managing issues related to position sense
Study reported that athletic populations have better proprioception than non-athletic population which was proved by research by comparing the female volley ball athlete to non-athletic females (Sahin, 2015), but some contradictory result was found in Method of constant stimuli
Summary
Charles Sherrington introduced the term ‘proprioception’ in 1906, he describe “the perception of joint and body movement as well as position of the body, or body segments, in space” [1]. Another term coined by Henry Bastian was kinesthesia which refers to “the body of sensation which results from or is directly occasioned by movement’s kinesthesis By means of this complex of sensory impression we are made acquainted with the position and movements of our limbs by means of it the brain derives much unconscious guidance in the performance of movement generally”. Some researchers define proprioception as joint position sense only and kinaesthesia as conscious awareness of joint movement [2] It has been used as a term to indicate sensory perception and subsequent motor control of posture, balance, audio visual-motor coordination and joint stability. Proprioceptive abilities are essential for orientation and moving in space and engaging with the environment They act like a key element for goal-directed movements of the limbs. Authors tried to answer following questions regarding proprioception: 1. What is the basic concept of proprioception and its receptors?
