Effective motor execution needs to accurately integrate proprioceptive sensory feedback to update the motor command centers about the outcome of the movements. The motor system can also generate an ...

Flexed sitting posture is commonly adopted in daily sitting activities and when sustained has been proposed to affect biological properties of spinal tissues and act detrimentally on proprioception.

Spinal cord injury disconnects communication between the brain and the spinal cord, disrupting control over part of the body. Studying the mechanisms of recovery, a researcher found that a specific ...

Proprioception significantly improved prosthetic control in the absence of vision, new research has shown. When patients are fitted with a robotic prosthetic limb, they gain control over their ...

For nearly 50 years, a jawless fish called the lamprey has interested scientists because of its remarkable ability to recover from spinal cord injuries. A new study reveals a possible technique ...

Researchers have created a prosthetic hand that offers its users the ability to feel where it is and how the fingers are positioned — a sense known as proprioception. The headline may be in jest, but ...

David Mzee became paralyzed after a sports accident in 2010. One of the three patients in the STIMO study, he can now walk with body-weight support for more than one kilometer. [Emmanuel Barraud] More ...
