Factors Influencing Proprioception: What do They Reveal?

摘要: The term proprioception was coined in 1906 by the neurophysiologist Sir Charles Sherrington from Latin "proprius," meaning "one's own," for sensory information derived neural receptors embedded joints, muscles, and tendons (Sherrington, 1906). Hence, originally defined as “the perception of joint body movement well position body, or segments, space”(Sherrington, Some years before, 1880, Bastian introduced kinaesthesia, Greek “kinein” to move + “aisthēsis” sensation, describe role motor cortex eliciting behaviors that coordinate specific functionally appropriate somatosensory afferent patterns (Finger, 1994). Presently, “kinaesthesia” “proprioception” are used practically synonymously indicate capability appraise configuration movements an organism’s parts. At present, can be cumulative input Central Nervous System specialized nerve endings called mechanoreceptors, which located joint, capsules, ligaments, tendons, skin (Carpenter, Blasier, & Pellizzon, 1998; Ribeiro Oliveira, 2007; Voight, Hardin, Blackburn, Tippett, Canner, 1996). Proprioception alludes tension/force, body/joint movement, limb relative (Riemann Lephart, 2002). is generally divided sub modalities sense tension (resistance), sense. Sense resistance represents ability appreciate force generated within a joint. refers including duration, direction, amplitude, speed, acceleration timing movements. Joint determines subject perceive presented angle then, after has been moved, actively passively reproduces same angle. All three appreciated consciously unconsciously, contributing automatic control balance, stability, thus being essential carry out daily living tasks, walking, sports activities Proprioceptive originated perceived organism at level mechanoreceptor, neurons muscle, tendon, fascia, capsule, ligament, et al., main
