Mechanical ankle instability: relationship with active joint position sense
… deficits in proprioception, more specifically joint position sense (JPS). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between MAl and active JPS. Twelve participants (5 male, 7 female) were selected for this study based upon their subjective ankle instability as assessed by a …

Effectiveness of chiropractic care in improving sensorimotor function associated with falls risk in older people
… to a ‘usual care’ control on proprioception (joint position sense), postural stability (static posturography), a broad measure of sensorimotor function (choice stepping reaction time), multisensory integration (the sound-induced flash illusion), and health-related quality of life (SF-36). …

The effect of neck muscle fatigue on shoulder humeral rotation proprioception
… into the effect of neck fatigue on shoulder joint position sense (JPS) accuracy is necessary. In this thesis, study one determined that high variability in upper limb DOFs led to no effect of neck fatigue on humeral rotation proprioception. Study two identified wrist deviation as a …

Effects of throwing on rotator cuff strength and proprioception
… Subjects completed a pretest consisting of joint position sense testing (ARPP), isotonic strength testing (1 RM IR and ER), and isokinetic strength testing (concentric IR and ER at 120°/s). Following this, excluding control, subjects completed an overhand throwing session consisting of 75 …

Alterations in neck muscle performance and proprioception with fatique, altered posture and recurrent neck pain
… neck pain patients and controls. Change in joint position sense (JPS) of upper limb joints has also been linked to chronic neck pain. Studies in this thesis sought to develop an experimental model in humans to investigate whether the FRR and JPS can be altered by fatigue and/or postural …

Evaluation of Circumferential Ankle Pressure as an Ergonomic Intervention to Maintain Balance Perturbed by Localized Muscular Fatigue of the Ankle Joint
… (PA) was determined using a passive-active joint position sense test, with categorical scores (low or high PA) used as a covariate. Postural sway during quiet standing was assessed using a force platform both pre- and post-fatigue as well as in the absence and presence of CAP. Application of …

Effects of Running Speed, Fatigue, and Bracing on Motor Control of Chronically Unstable Ankles
… methods indicate poor postural stability and joint position sense (JPS) as associated motor control deficits. Little research, though, has investigated ankle motor control under dynamic (simulated sport) or fatigue conditions. To better understand factors contributing to the increased sprain …

The Effect of a Specialized Yoga Intervention on Characteristics of Functional Ankle Instability
… to musculoskeletal structures in the ankle joint complex causing pathological joint laxity or arthrokinematics restrictions. Functional ankle instability (FAI) is defined by the ankle giving way, in which a person experiences instability due to a near-sprain as a result of a benign or even …

The acute and chronic effects of resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction on fall risk factors in older adults
… post-training. Additionally, the error rate for joint position sense and the ability to match strength (force sense) also improved, suggesting that participants improved their accuracy post-training. However, negligible changes in quiet standing and gait stability were observed in both LIBFR and …

The effects of proprioceptive training and dyad practice to improve sensorimotor function
… were most successful in clinical populations. Joint position sense error was the most commonly used proprioceptive measure and presents a reliable and feasible measure for clinical use. Methods - Aim 2: Forty-two healthy participants (18–35 years) were randomized into three groups (n = 14): …

Movement patterns in the unstable total knee replacement
… TKA patients with varying degrees of knee joint laxity suggested that some patients are able to develop coping mechanisms to stabilise the knee, whereas others do not (Hamilton et al., 2020). Thus, the concept of “secondary (muscular) stabilisers” was proposed for controlling movement about …
