Özet: Proprioception is the sense of the relative position of parts of the body and strength of effort being employed in movement. Proprioception is essential for well-adapted sensorimotor control. Although proprioceptive deficits are known to be a common after several neurological and orthopedic conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, peripheral sensory neuropathies, or injuries to ligaments, joint capsules, and muscles, there is no objective, accurate, and reliable method available in clinical settings to assess proprioceptive function. In this chapter specific techniques developed to assess proprioception will be briefly discussed.
