“…Our findings are similar to a previous study showing MDS scores of 0.05 ± 0.02 at the hip and 0.09 ± 0.04 at the knee, while people with a spinal cord injury had scores up to approximately 1.9 (Chisholm et al 2015). As well, the evaluation of passive MDS at the knee has revealed a mean score of 0.58° (95 % confidence interval 0.53°-0.62°) among young able-bodied adults (Boerboom et al 2008). Individuals with an injured knee demonstrated passive MDSs ranging from 0.5° to 12° (including extension and flexion movements) compared to 0.5°-3.0° in the control group (Fridén et al 1996).…”

“…This finding may be related to differences in proprioceptive acuity between opposing muscle groups (Corrigan et al 1992). Corrigan et al (1992) suggest that the difference between muscle dominance, such as a larger hamstring group, results in heightened proprioceptive sensitivity in flexion However, other studies have found that the knee is more sensitive to passive movements towards extension when the knee starts from a less flexed position, and more sensitive to movement towards flexion when the knee starts at a more flexed position (Fridén et al 1996;Boerboom et al 2008). Such findings may suggest why hip flexion during MDS was more sensitive than extension as our target position was set at 25° hip flexion.…”

The relationship between lower limb proprioceptive sense and locomotor skill acquisition

Sensorimotor integration is essential for controlling movement and acquiring new motor tasks in humans. The aim of this project was to understand how lower limb proprioceptive sense contributes to the acquisition of a skilled walking task. We assessed lower limb joint position and movement detection sense in healthy human subjects using the Lokomat robotic exoskeleton. Subjects walked on a treadmill to practice a skilled motor task (200 trials) requiring them to match their foot height during the swing phase to the height of a virtual obstacle displayed on a monitor in front of them. Subjects were given visual feedback on their error relative to the obstacle height after it was crossed. Lower limb joint position sense was related to the final performance error, but not the learning rate of the skilled walking task. The findings from this study support the role of lower limb proprioceptive sense on locomotor skill performance in healthy adult subjects.

“…To measure TDPM, input from vision and cutaneous receptors is typically minimized, and the joint, tested in midrange, is moved passively at a slow rate of less than 1°/s, until the subject reports a sensation of movement. 6 At the knee, measures of joint reposition sense have not correlated with measures of TDPM, 19 which supports the notion that, both functionally and mechanistically, the 2 sensory modalities are likely distinct.…”
