Assessing proprioception: What do you really want to know?—Response to Krewer et al.
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 with this point of view, and would like to extend this notion to include the argument that there is also no single method for assessing an isolated aspect of proprioceptive
sense, because any movement is associated with both position and movement information.2,3 Therefore, although
some proprioceptive testing techniques seem to be specifically designed to assess solely movement sense or position sense, it is still unclear to what extent movement information contributes to position sense testing and vice versa.
