In their comment, Krewer et al.1 argue that before selecting a specific method for assessing proprioception, it is essential to consider which component of proprioception is to be assessed. They also note that there is no single method for assessing all aspects of the various proprioceptive senses, because the neurophysiological processes underlying proprioceptive function are complex. We agree…
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 been extensively investigated, using different techniques, yet the proprioceptive mechanisms underlying human movement control are still unclear. In the current work we have reviewed understanding of proprioceptio…
