Proprioceptive system:Proprioceptive system: A general term used to cover all A general term used to cover all
those sensory systems that are those sensory systems that are involved in providing information involved in providing information about position, location, orientation about position, location, orientation and movement of the body and its and movement of the body and its parts (sensing position and motion of parts (sensing position and motion of the body).the body).

Proprioceptive Training Proprioceptive Training Proprioceptive exercisesProprioceptive exercises The objective of kinesthetic and proprioceptive The objective of kinesthetic and proprioceptive
training is to restore the neurosensory properties of training is to restore the neurosensory properties of injured capsuloligamentous structures and enhance injured capsuloligamentous structures and enhance the sensitivity of uninvolved peripheral afferents.the sensitivity of uninvolved peripheral afferents.
Rehabilitation programs begin with restoration of Rehabilitation programs begin with restoration of range of motion, muscular endurance, and muscular range of motion, muscular endurance, and muscular strength. These exercises, in a nonspecific fashion, strength. These exercises, in a nonspecific fashion, stimulate joint and muscle proprioceptors in the stimulate joint and muscle proprioceptors in the injured extremityinjured extremity
Joint compression is believed to maximally stimulate Joint compression is believed to maximally stimulate articular receptors and can be accomplished with articular receptors and can be accomplished with closed chain exercises throughout the available ROM. closed chain exercises throughout the available ROM. Early joint repositioning tasks enhance conscious Early joint repositioning tasks enhance conscious proprioceptive and kinesthetic awareness, eventual proprioceptive and kinesthetic awareness, eventual leading to unconscious appreciation of joint motion leading to unconscious appreciation of joint motion and and position. Applying elastic bandage can provide position. Applying elastic bandage can provide additional proprioceptive and kinesthetic formation by additional proprioceptive and kinesthetic formation by stimulating cutaneous receptorsstimulating cutaneous receptors
Proprioceptive TrainingProprioceptive TrainingGeneral principlesGeneral principles 1- Balance is achieved first, then 1- Balance is achieved first, then
coordination, then agility ( the ability to coordination, then agility ( the ability to control the direction of a body or its parts control the direction of a body or its parts during rapid movement, it requires flexibility, during rapid movement, it requires flexibility, strength, power, speed, balance, and strength, power, speed, balance, and coordination and involves rapid change of coordination and involves rapid change of direction and sudden stopping and starting).direction and sudden stopping and starting).
