What is proprioception?
.
Proprioception refers to sensations from joints, muscles, and connective tissues that underlie body awareness. Sensory nerve endings can provide our brain with the information of the limb position.
.
Proprioception is different to touch sensory input. This is because with proprioception the sensory information is coming from our muscles and joints, not our skin.
.
Our proprioceptive system helps us to:
✔️Know where our limbs (arms and legs) are.
✔️Grade our force and speed of movement.
✔️Maintain our muscle tone.
✔️Maintain our balance.
.
If you have poor proprioception after an injury or surgery, you may have difficulty with basic functional mobility, lose balance on unsteady surfaces, and you're at greater risk of falling.
.
❗️If you feel like your proprioception is off, you should contact a specialist.
.
After the meeting with a physical therapist or personal trainer, you probably will have to start doing exercises to help improve your balance and proprioception, like single-leg stance, BOSU steps, The T-Stance balance exercise, BAPS board.
