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.

Influence of hysteresis on joint position sense in the human knee joint

Experimental Brain Research, 2000
During muscle lengthening in a movement cycle the firing rate of muscle spindles is higher than during shortening. This phenomenon, known as hysteresis, has implications for movement control. Therefore, it should have an impact on joint position sense (JPS), the subject's awareness of the static position of a joint.

No Relationship Between Joint Position Sense and Force Sense at the Shoulder

Journal of Motor Behavior, 2017
In practice, a single test is used to quantify an individual's proprioception. Previous studies have not found a correlation between joint position sense (JPS) and force sense (FS), which are submodalities of proprioception. The purpose of the present study is to determine if root mean square (RMS) error in JPS and FS are related at the shoulder ...

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).

The effect of eccentric exercise on position sense and joint reaction angle of the lower limbs

Muscle and Nerve, 2007
Impaired position sense and impaired joint reaction angle of the lower limbs after muscle-damaging activities is a serious functional limitation that may lead to an increased risk of injury, particularly in older populations.

Cryotherapy influences joint laxity and position sense of the healthy knee joint

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2003
To investigate the influences of cryotherapy on the anteroposterior (AP) laxity and the joint position sense of the knee.Experimental.University hospital in Japan.Twenty healthy volunteers (10 men, 10 women; age range, 21-28y) were analyzed.Not applicable.A cooling pad was applied to the knee for 15 minutes under the circulating medium at 4 degrees C ...

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 ...

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.

Cervical joint position sense is impaired in older adults

Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2008
Although the role of afferent input from cervical muscles on the control of posture and locomotion is recognised, it is surprising that there is an absence of data reporting whether joint position sense at the cervical level is impaired in older healthy adults.

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,
