Proprioception

The ability of the body to perceive the position, movement, and tension of its limbs without the need for visual assistance. This information is transmitted through specialized receptors located in the muscles, tendons, and joints to the nervous system. Proprioception is important for maintaining balance, coordinating movements, and achieving proper body posture. It also contributes to injury prevention and rehabilitation after injuries, especially in athletes or individuals with joint problems. It can be improved through specific balance exercises and neuromuscular control training.
