The aim of this review is to investigate the relationship between proprioceptive and tactile perceptual aberrations psychotic symptoms schizophrenia, a correlation which has already been established by several studies (Lenzenweger, 2006; Postmes et al., 2014; Chang Lenzenweger, 2005; Michael Park, 2016; Germine 2013; Kent 2010). However, direction causality within still unknown. Because indicat...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the manifestation of akinesia, slowness to initiate movement, muscle rigidity, and tremors. However, recent evidence indicates that this pathology also causes alterations in proprioception. Disturbances in proprioceptive mechanisms directly affect postural control and the ability to calculate the velocity and amplitude of movement, suggesting that th...

Prisms shifting the visual input sideways produce a mismatch between the visual versus felt position of one's hand. Prism adaptation eliminates this mismatch, realigning hand proprioception with visual input. Whether this realignment concerns exclusively the visuo-(hand)motor system or it generalizes to acoustic inputs is controversial. We here show that there is indeed a slight influence of vi...

Multiple factors have been proposed to contribute to the deficits of postural control in the elderly. They were summarized as sensory, motor, and higher-level adaptation deficits. Using a model-based approach, we aimed to identify which of these deficits mainly determine age-related changes in postural control. We analyzed postural control of 20 healthy elderly people with a mean age of 74 year...
