  7. Cutaneous mechanoreceptors Cutaneous mechanoreceptors are located in the skin By morphology Ruffini's end organ detects sustained pressure. Meissner's corpuscle detects changes in texture (vibrations around 50 Hz); Pacinian corpuscle detects deep pressure and rapid vibrations (about 200-300 Hz). Merkel's disc detects sustained touch and pressure. Free nerve endings (touch, pressure, stretch) Hair folliclesreceptors are located in hair follicles and sense the position

  8. AFFERENT INPUT LEVELS OF MOTOR CONTROL • Peripheral afferents • joint • muscle • skin Spinal reflexes Cognitive programming CNS MUSCLE Visual receptors Brain Stem balance Vestibular receptors

  9. Purposes of proprioception: 1- Provide awareness of position sense and kinesthesia. 2- Produce coordinated reflex effects on muscle tone and balance. 3- Provide peripheral feedback so the CNS can design and modify effective motor programs

  10. Measurement Methods Proprioceptive assessment tests: 1. Tests of angular reproduction (AR) 2.Threshold to detect passive movement (TTDPM)

  11. Indications for proprioceptive training 1-Joint sprain or strain 2-Joint instability (shoulder dislocation ,ligament laxity or weakness) 4-Athletic protection against reinjury

  12. Proprioceptive Training Proprioceptive exercises The objective of kinesthetic and proprioceptive training is to restore the neurosensory properties of injured capsuloligamentous structures and enhance the sensitivity of uninvolved peripheral afferents. Rehabilitation programs begin with restoration of range of motion, muscular endurance, and muscular strength. These exercises, in a nonspecific fashion, stimulate joint and muscle proprioceptors in the injured extremity Joint compression is believed to maximally stimulate articular receptors and can be accomplished with closed chain exercises throughout the available ROM. Early joint repositioning tasks enhance conscious proprioceptive and kinesthetic awareness, eventual leading to unconscious appreciation of joint motion and position. Applying elastic bandage can provide additional proprioceptive and kinesthetic formation by stimulating cutaneous receptors

  13. Proprioceptive Training General principles 1- Balance is achieved first, then coordination, then agility ( the ability to control the direction of a body or its parts during rapid movement, it requires flexibility, strength, power, speed, balance, and coordination and involves rapid change of direction and sudden stopping and starting). 2- Exercises progress from simple to complex . 3- Initial exercises are performed slowly and perfomed in controlled situations

  14. Proprioceptive Training 4- Advancement is made only after the activity is mastered 5- Progression is to more complex activities and evolves to specific performance activities:  Make activity more complex Perform simple activity at a faster pace Require a more powerful output Have patient perform more than one task simultaneously 6 - Goal: perform the activity accurately: Do difficult proprioceptive activities early in exercise session so patient not as fatigued Repetition
