Proprioception is defined as our body's ability to know where it is in space. Training our proprioceptive pathways is a vital part of the rehab process and often left out of more traditional rehab plans.

My propreception system got broke after I suffered a brain injury and whiplash from an accident 7yrs ago. If I stand on one leg and close my eyes, I fall over completely as I don't know where my body is at all. I discovered there was a problem, when I closed my eyes and I didn't know where my hands were to touch them together. Then later, I had tests done, to determine to what extent I had a problem. I still struggle with it all, to this very day.

Seems that physical therapy in stroke recovery could be a subject of Proprioception in learning to use the areas of a persons body as closely as possible to prestroke capacities. Hopefully, if beneficial, could be an incentive to get back to encouraging others to instill the courage to press on towards goals and getting to places that they had never been before. Will have to look into this for my own stroke recovery and therapy possibilities to be stronger and hold that special person in a hug and their hands in mine again.

[@DrCarlBaird]

Keep up the hard work! We're working with someone who was partially paralyzed from a stroke and is now back to fully functional

[@Vivien_Ekong]

Thanks so much

[@blackloveb2448]

Also explain vestibular. please

[@trendsetters06]

Body awareness

[@amandalo3872]

Is this the same as mind to muscle connection when exercising?

[@DrCarlBaird]

Not quite. You may be thinking of the term 'motor control'...equally important though!

[@victorchu964]

how do you practice proprioception when the ankle too weak for standing on one leg?

[@upliftsouls]

Develop and build the leg muscles through strength training and physical exercise

Proprioception means in gujarati

[@pinoxus]

him moving your arm was not a good example ., You still get feedback from the sense of touch .

[@MsPerfume25]

So its kinda like balance??

[@DrCarlBaird]

Proprioception is your body's ability to know where it is in space. Balance is definitely part of proprioception but it also includes other aspects.

[@chipmanly1359]

Vestibular is your sense of balance

[@dookie2109]

so its spidey sense

[@DrCarlBaird]

Exactly!
