ability to know where limbs and joints are in space, also known as joint position sense
The awareness of the positions of bones, joints, and muscles.
One’s awareness of posture, movement, and changes in balance and the knowledge of position, weight, and resistance of objects in relation to the body.
The brain's unconscious understanding of movement and spatial orientation, generated by muscles and sensors inside the body.
The ability to sense the three-dimensional position of a limb.
the receipt of information from muscles, tendons, and the labyrinth, enabling the brain to determine movements and to position the body and its parts; also called kinesthesia
This is information that the brain receives from our muscles and joints to make us aware of body position and body movement. Proprioceptive makes a strong contribution to praxis, to the child's ability to grade movement and to postural control.
The awareness of posture, movement, and changes in equilibrium and the knowledge of position, weight, and resistance of an object in relation to the body.
the ability to sense the position and location and orientation and movement of the body and its parts
Perception of joint and body movement as well as position of the body in space.
the process by which the body can vary muscle contraction in immediate response to incoming information regarding external forces," by utilizing stretch receptors in the muscles to keep track of the joint position in the body.
Provides individuals with input which tells the brain when and how the muscles are contracting or stretching, and where each part of the body is and how it is moving.
Proprioception is the ability to sense the location of one joint in relation to another, which is essential for balance and coordinated movement.
The ability to sense the position of the limbs and their movements, with the eyes closed.
Awareness of change in the position of a limb brought about by movement and muscular activity.
The mechanism by which nerve receptors in skin, muscle, ligament and joint tissue relay information to the brain about body position sense, where this information is quickly processed and movement strategies are formulated and executed using nerve signals to muscles.
Perception of body movement or position.
Perceptual awareness of where body parts are positioned in space.
Sensation concerning movements of joints and position of the body in space.
a conscious awareness of limb positioning. Signals originate from stretch receptors in and around joints. Some form of SCI may affect proprioception signals travelling to the brain.
The relation of the body to its own parts and the earth provided by information interpreted by the brain from sensors located on muscles, the skeleton and ligaments that detect movement and position.
Sensory awareness of a part of the body.
Perception of movement and spatial orientation.
Reception of sensory information from muscles, tendons, and joints, allowing internal awareness of body parts and their position in space
The ability to sense where a body part is.
Awareness of the body’s relative position to the outside world; Information from proprioceptors and the eyes is interpreted by the brain to allow postural alignment and balance to be maintained; see proprioceptor.
Proprioception is the general term used to describe nerve impulses originating from joints, muscles, tendons and associated deep tissues, which are then processed in the central nervous system to provide information about joint position, motion, vibration and pressure.
The proprioception system is made up of receptors which is located in our muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. These receptors give us information about the position of our body parts.
The sense of movement and position.
The sensory awareness of the position of the body parts with or without movement.
awareness of the location of body parts in space and in relation to one another
Sensory awareness of any singular part of the body.
The level of stimuli from within the body (i.e. muscles and tendons;) includes positions sense (the awareness of the joints at rest) and kinesthesia (the awareness of movement.)
the detection of body position and movements
a general term used to cover all the sensory systems that are involved in providing information about position, location, orientation and movement of the body (and it's parts). (definition in Penguin Dictionary of Psychology).
In body tissue, the body's awareness of position, posture, movement and changes in equilibrium.
A part of the Somatic Sensory system that allows you to sense the positioning of parts of the body in relation to other parts of the body using external sensors in the feet and the hands and internal sensors in the joints.
The ability to sense the position of any part of the body without looking at it, for example, to sense if a toe is pointing up or down.
the sense of joint/body position
The ability to perceive the static position of a joint or body part.
Sensory input from muscles and joints to the central nervous system.
The neurological sense that allows one to know not only where one is in space, but also the position and location of each individual part and joint.
Proprioception (PRO-pree-o-SEP-shun (IPA pronunciation: ); from Latin proprius, meaning "one's own" and perception) is the sense of the relative position of neighbouring parts of the body. Unlike the six exteroception senses (sight, taste, smell, touch, hearing, and balance) by which we perceive the outside world, proprioception is an interoception sense that provides feedback solely on the status of the body internally. It is the sense that indicates whether the body is moving with required effort, as well as where the various parts of the body are located in relation to each other.
