To control movement, the brain has to integrate proprioceptive information from a variety of
mechanoreceptors. The role of proprioception in daily activities, exercise, and sports has …

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 …

Conclusions/Applications: Sensorimotor control over the dynamic restraints is a complex
process that involves components traditionally associated with motor control. Recognizing …

1. Thresholds for the perception of postural sway induced by gentle perturbations were
determined for five normal standing subjects. In this context we understand 'perception'to …

Human Hand Function is a multidisciplinary book that reviews the sensory and motor
aspects of normal hand function from both neurophysiological and behavioral perspectives …

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 …

Four types of mechanoreceptive afferents innervate the glabrous skin of the hand. Evidence
from more than three decades of combined psychophysical and neurophysiological …

Signals generated both peripherally and centrally contribute to the group of sensations
termed kinaesthesia. Many experiments report sensations of position and movement under …

1. The movement sensitivity of dorsal skin mechanoreceptors in the human hand was
studied by the use of single afferent recording techniques. 2. Units were classified as slowly …

This study tested the hypotheses that all major joints along the longitudinal axis of the body
are equally active during quiet standing and that their motions are coordinated to stabilize …
