Proprioception and performance in surfing
… of the postural control system including proprioception. Currently, proprioception is not well understood nor examined in surfers, making it difficult to quantify proprioceptive ability and interpret how proprioception may relate to surfing performance. The purpose of this thesis was …

Visuomotor Learning and Proprioception Across Development
… processes might differ across development if proprioception is less reliable, as proprioceptive impairments have been found to occur alongside normal aging (children and older adults differ from young adults) and in several neurological disorders. Proprioception is suspected to be impaired in …

Behavior-specific proprioception models for robotic force estimation
… of sensors for force estimation purposes. Human proprioception allows estimating forces such as the weight of an object by prior experience about sensory-motor patterns. Applying a similar approach to robots enables them to learn from previous demonstrations without the need of dedicated force …

Effects of throwing on rotator cuff strength and proprioception
… performed to examine declines in strength and proprioception after a single bout of overhand baseball throwing. Twenty-three university students volunteered for this study and were placed into three groups. Subjects completed a pretest consisting of joint position sense testing (ARPP), isotonic …

Vision-based proprioception and tactile sensing for soft robots
… yet practical deployment demands accurate proprioception and tactile feedback. This thesis introduces a compact, vision-based sensing framework that delivers both modalities from a single internal camera. We instantiate the approach on PneuGelSight, a pneumatically actuated finger that uses …

The effect of injury on ankle range of motion and proprioception
… inversion range of motion and some deficits in proprioception once an ankle injury has occurred. This minor thesis was written by a post-graduate student as part of the requirements of the Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) program.

The effect of neck muscle fatigue on shoulder humeral rotation proprioception
… to no effect of neck fatigue on humeral rotation proprioception. Study two identified wrist deviation as a significant contributor to end effector variability when performing unconstrained humeral rotation. Wrist deviation will require a sufficient method of constraint in order to make significant …

Contribution of Vision and Proprioception to the Precision of Reaching Movements
… with differing amounts of visual information. Proprioception improved performance only when vision was limited. Our results indicate that reaching movements, unlike saccades, are improved rather than impaired by the addition of somatosensory information.

Proprioception, jumping capacity and agility in beach versus indoor volleyball players
… in training load, previous injury, balance, proprioception, joint kinematics and muscle strength. There has been recent growth in the literature investigating the role of proprioception in the assessment, management and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries. Proprioceptive retraining …

Vision-based proprioception of a soft robotic finger with tactile sensing
… soft robots should be equipped with both proprioception and exteroception that can capture this intricate high-dimensionality. In this thesis, an embedded vision-based sensor, which can capture richly detailed information, is utilized to concurrently perceive proprioception and tactile …

An agonist-antagonist myoneural interface for proprioception from a neurally-controlled prosthesis
… of their body parts. This sense is known as proprioception, and is essential to human motor control. In the many attempts to create human-mechatronic interactions, there is still no robust, repeatable methodology to reflect proprioceptive information from a synthetic device onto the nervous …

The Effects of Wearing Headscarves on Cervical Spine Proprioception and Range of Motion
… headscarf might have an influence on cervical proprioception and range of motion (ROM). The cervical spine is unique in providing multidirectional movement as well as providing the sense of awareness of movement of the head and neck in space. Impairments in cervical mobility and proprioception …

The acute effects of taping on proprioception in the ankle with previous inversion sprain
… with chronic ankle inversion injuries have worse proprioception in the inversion/eversion plane, when compared to a control ankle and to examine whether taping the ankle improves proprioception. The most common sporting based injuries are to the ankle. The correct instruction for rehabilitation …

The effects of forward head posture on sensorimotor integration and neck and shoulder proprioception
Forward head posture (FHP) is commonly seen in today’s society as a result of excess technology use. The central nervous system uses the position of the head with respect to the neck when interpreting the location of the upper limb. While experimental pain studies undoubtedly provide a link between …

The Effects of Neoprene Sleeve Application on Knee Joint Proprioception in Adolescent Female Athletes.
… to determine if differences exist in knee joint proprioception, with and without application of a neoprene knee sleeve (NKS), when performing reproduction of target angle test (RTA), movement sensation test (MS) using a Biodex testing machine, and single leg standing test. Ten subjects had not …

Alterations in neck muscle performance and proprioception with fatique, altered posture and recurrent neck pain
Altered neuromuscular processing and motor output as both a risk and perpetuating factor for chronic neck pain is a relative new area of study. The cervical flexion relaxation response (FRR) is a reproducible and reliable marker of differences in neuromuscular function between neck pain patients …

Proprioception, balance and lower limb strength in Nigerian children (7-10 years) with Generalized Joint Hypermobility and Developmental Coordination Disorder
… perceive movement or position sense at joints (proprioception) is necessary for good postural control and motor performance. Sensory receptors carry information from the joints to the central nervous system for interpretation and appropriate motor response. Damage to these receptors or joint …

The Impact of Type 2 Diabetes and Associated Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy on Grip Force Control and Hand Function
… to deficits in hand dexterity: Sensory such as proprioception and motor such as grip force control. Several questions were addressed. First, does T2D and DPN cause finger proprioception deficits? Second, does T2D and DPN affect grip force control? Third, what is the role of sensation, …
