A Kinesthetic Sense of Proprioception

Proprioception is the awareness of limb position and spatial orientation, and it is crucial for motor function. The proprioceptive sense monitors the body’s position with the environment and transmits that information to the brain. Proprioceptive training for improved motor function Training is an essential tool for people with disabilities, others who face a loss of proprioception from a stroke or TBI. For example, stroke survivors…
