Histories of virtual reality (VR) usually place its origins in computing. But this can be pushed back even further by considering early experiments flight, principally the endeavour to fly instrument, that took late 1920s and throughout 1930s. This essay positions blind flight history other immersive media order understand what sensory deprivation has do with proprioception. Deprived visual aur...

Purpose: Comparing the effects of manipulating senses on relative phase transition bimanual coordination pattern of active and inactive women with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Methods: The methodology of this study was repeated-measures design. Study participants comprised 10 active women and 10 inactive women with multiple sclerosis who voluntarily participated in this experiment. The participant...

Aim: The present study attempted to investigate the impacts of Kinesio taping on proprioceptive responses knee joint before and after muscular fatigue. 
 Material Method: Thirteen healthy basketball players were recruited for this study. A fatigue protocol was designed with a load 70% maximum quadriceps muscle strength applied dominant lower extremity, including repetitive flexion extensio...

While vision and proprioception can both provide information about arm configuration prior to movement, substantial evidence suggests that each modality is used for different stages of the planning process. In this chapter, we provide support for the idea that vision is mainly used to define the trajectory and the kinematics of reaching movements. Proprioception appears to be critical in the tr...

Proprioception is a topic of interest within the larger scope of dance pedagogy, science, and rehabilitation. As the science of proprioception changes, approaches to proprioceptive training also change. Thus, proprioceptive training in dance medicine has expanded to include balance protocols. A key concept within these protocols for treatment of lower extremity injuries is perturbation. Perturb...

Because sensation is delayed, real-time movement control requires not just sensing, but also predicting limb position, a function hypothesized for the cerebellum. Such cerebellar predictions could contribute to perception of limb position (i.e., proprioception), particularly when a person actively moves the limb. Here we show that human cerebellar patients have proprioceptive deficits compared ...

Objectives: To determine whether proprioception or muscular strength is the dominant factor in balance and joint stability and define what type of ankle rehabilitation i s most effective for these purposes. Setting: The University of North Carolina Sports Medicine Research Laboratory. Subjects: Thirty-two healthy volunteers free of head injury, dominant leg injury, and vestibular deficits. Desi...
