Knee Joint Position Sense in Compressive Myelopathy

Spine, 2006
The knee joint position sense (JPS) and kinesthesia were measured in patients with compressive myelopathy.To find out how the knee JPS and kinesthesia are useful to evaluate lower limb function in patients with compressive myelopathy.No previous reports have been written on the quantitative analysis of knee joint proprioception in myelopathy patients ...

Joint-Position Sense after Total Hip Replacement

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1973
Sixteen patients were studied prior to and after total hip replacement with an apparatus designed to eliminate all sensory cues to the perception of the position of the joint, except stimuli from the joint capsule and periarticular soft tissues.

Effect of Force Sense to Active Joint Position Sense and Relationships between Active Joint Position Sense, Force Sense, Jumping and Muscle Strength

Journal of Motor Behavior, 2019
We aimed to investigate the effect of external load on the joint position sense (JPS) accuracy and its relation to the target jump height. The present study also aimed to explore the relationship between force sense (FS) and maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC).

Shoulder Joint Position Sense Improves With External Load

Journal of Motor Behavior, 2007
Joint position sense (JPS) is important in the maintenance of optimal movement coordination of limb segments in functional activities. Researchers have shown that the sensitivity of musculotendinous mechanoreceptors increases as muscle activation levels increase. In the present study, when 25 participants tried to replicate the same presented position,

Joint position sense in the normal and pathologic knee joint

Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 1991
Joint position sense has been suggested to be an important factor in the etiology of degenerative joint disease. It is also believed to be important in the rehabilitative process after reconstructive surgery of the knee. Despite this awareness, in many areas of orthopaedic surgery little effort has been devoted to study of this crucial topic. Therefore,

Joint position sense – There׳s an app for that

Journal of Biomechanics, 2016
Traditionally, proprioception has been assessed with a passive model, in which an external apparatus moves a body segment. Recently, protocols have been developed based on active movements, which are more representative of functional activities. However, even these approaches require expensive testing equipment and the necessity of a visit to a ...

Joint position sense is impaired by Parkinson's disease

Annals of Neurology, 2000
The abilities of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, taking routine medication, and of control subjects, to discriminate bilateral differences in the static angular positions of the two elbow joints were studied during passive (subject relaxed) and active (subject contracting to hold position) conditions.

Benefits of active motion for joint position sense

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2005
AbstractAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures lead to a proprioceptive deficit and therefore joint position sense. This study examined whether active motion is better suited than passive motion to address this deficit. Sixty patients with ACL rupture were prospectively randomised into two groups [continuous active motion (CAM)/continuous passive ...

Elbow joint position sense after total elbow arthroplasty

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2014
Multiple human experiments have shown that articular lesions can have a negative effect on proprioception. The influence of total elbow arthroplasty on joint position sense has not been reported so far. The purpose of the study was to evaluate proprioception, defined as a joint position sense, after total elbow arthroplasty.The study included 16 ...

Changes in head and neck position affect elbow joint position sense

Experimental Brain Research, 2005
Changes in the position of the head and neck have been shown to introduce a systematic deviation in the end-point error of an upper limb pointing task. Although previous authors have attributed this to alteration of perceived target location, no studies have explored the effect of changes in head and neck position on the perception of limb position ...
