This study to investigate the effects of proprioceptive motor program on proprioceptive and balance ability for patients with chronic stroke. Twenty nine subjects were recruited by means of a convenience sampling from Gyeonggi-do B hospital. The subjects were divided into two group: a proprioceptive motor program and general physical therapy(n=15), general physical therapy(n=14). The stimulation and exercises were conducted for 30 min per day, three days, per week for six weeks. All participants were assessed before and after taping training using proprioceptive, berg balance scale(BBS), timed up and go test(TUG), and balance ability was measured using a BioRescue. After training, the change values of the proprioception and balance ability in experimental group were significantly greater than control group(p<0.05). This findings show that progressive and proprioceptive motor program training convergence can be effective for stroke patients proprioception and balance ability. Continued development of convergence interventions for chronic stroke patients with proprioception and balance ability in the practice are suggested.

This paper aims to examine how proprioception provides a sense of ownership over one's body and physical actions. Proprioception is a sense that relies on somatic interoceptors rather than exteroceptors that receive external stimuli and has epistemic importance of knowing the presence, location, and movement of bodily parts. In this paper, I will argue that Shoemaker's principle, "Immunity to Error through Misidentification (IEM)" can be applied to proprioception by focusing on one of the intrinsic features of proprioception: First-Person Perspective. I will advocate the following two arguments by defeating each of Marcel's pathological counter-examples in turn. Proprioception is infallible in that it provides a sense of ownership over one's body and physical actions. Second, proprioception is indispensable for the sense of ownership of one's body and physical actions.

This study performed a proprioception improvement training for recurrence prevention of industrial workers with chronic lateral epicondylitis and analysed their pain and proprioception. The subjects of the study were thirty chronic lateral epicondylitis patients working for K company and were divided into elbow exercise program Group made of 15 subjects and proprioception improvement training Group made of 15. As variables for pain, pressure pain, and grip strength were measured and for the propioception, joint position sense of each group was measured before and after the exercise program. To compare differences before and after the program, a paired t-test was used and to compare differences between both groups, an independent samples t-test was used. As a result of the test, it was discovered that pressure pain, grip strength and joint position sense of the both groups were improved statistically significantly. These were statistically differential effect between each group on pressure pain, grip strength and joint position sense. In conclusion, it is suggested that proprioception improvement training should be considered as a method chronic and recurrence prevention lateral epicondylitis of industrial workers.

This research clarified a neuroscientific mechanism from somatics in dance contents developed using somatics methods through literature studies. To clarify these, first, I organized neuroscientific mechanism in somatics, second, researched neuroscientific mechanism in dance contents adopted from somatics practice. Somatics is limited to Feldenkrais Method. It is possible to explain neuroscientific mechanism through neuro-plasticity, proprioception and Sensory Integration. As a result Gaga and Tamalpa take the method Awareness thorugh Movement from Feldenrkrais. They integrate newly formed networks by informations from proprioceptive senses. This study is significant that suggest brain scientific practices in dances and somatics, explain mechanism between brain and body in dance practices and provide a base that explains mechanism of body movement in a view of brain science to choreographers and dancers to apply this mechanism in their study and training.

The objective of the study was the effects of balance training using sandals on the balancing and proprioception of patients with chronic ankle instability(CAI). A total of 36 patients with CAI were assigned to sandal exercise(SE), balance training(BT), and control groups(CG). The groups were assessed for static balancing and proprioception before and after the intervention. The SE performed using balance sandals, while BT performed balance training. Intervention comprised a 30minute session. 3 times a week for 8 weeks. The SE showed significant effect in static balance, as compared to the other two groups (p<.001), whereas proprioception showed a significant effect on eversion (p<.001). Therefore, balance training using sandals can be a positive intervention method for prevention of falls in elderly as well as chronic ankle instability patients.

Purpose: Proprioceptive function has been known to be important to shoulder stability. However, the function in rotator cuff tear patients is rarely investigated. The purpose of current study is to report the proprioceptive function in rotator cuff tear patients and to analyze the proprioceptive function regarding the tear size and the presence of subscapularis tear. Materials and Methods: Between 2011 and 2012, total 76 patients (male 28 and female 48) were recruited and average age was 61.7 years old (range, 38~76). Preoperatively, joint position senses in internal and external rotation were measured for proprioceptive function testing by method of active re-positioning technique. The absolute difference from set point was measured. Proprioceptive function was further analyzed according to tear size of rotator cuff, the presence of subscapularis tear, visual analogue scale of pain, shoulder functional score (American society of elbow and shoulder score), and ranges of motion in shoulder. Results: The absolute difference for external rotation was $4.9^{\circ}{\pm}2.9^{\circ}$, in normal joint and $4.9^{\circ}{\pm}3.0^{\circ}$for involved joint in rotator cuff tear patients. This difference was not significant statistically (p=0.87). The absolute difference for internal rotation was $4.0^{\circ}{\pm}2.7^{\circ}$in normal joint whereas $4.8^{\circ}{\pm}3.7^{\circ}$ for involved joint showing statistically significant difference (p=0.043). There was some trend that the proprioceptive function of internal rotation was more impaired in the bigger tear size group (more than medium tear) compared to the smaller tear size group (partial thickness and small tear, 5.0 vs. 4.0, p=0.061). The impairment of internal rotation proprioception was also accentuated in patients with subscapularis tear (4.8 vs. 4.0, p=0.065). The proprioceptive function of internal rotation was decreased when the pain visual analogue scale was increased (5.2 vs. 4.0 p=0.04), shoulder functional score was decreased (6.1 vs. 4.2, p=0.005), or range of motion in shoulder joint was restricted (5.3 vs. 3.7, p=0.041). Conclusion: The deficit of proprioceptive function was observed in rotator cuff tear patients. Proprioception for internal rotation was impaired in patients with the bigger tear size and subscapularis tear. Pain, shoulder function score, and range of motion were also shown to be related with the deficit in proprioceptive function.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of different sitting postures on range of motion, strength and proprioceptive sense of neck. Fifteen healthy university students participated in the study. Depending on upright sitting position and slump sitting position, range of motion and joint position sense were measured by using Dualer IQ. Also, the maximum isometric strength and force sense were measured by using linear force. As a result, we found that the maximum angle of neck extension and the maximum isometric strength at flexion were significantly higher in upright posture than in slump posture. Also, the maximum angle of neck flexion and the maximum isometric strength at extension were higher in slump posture than in upright posture. According to the result, proper proprioception can have an beneficial effect on postural revision of neck and body by providing the information that cognize the position of head through and sustain upright posture.

Purpose: This study evaluates the effectiveness of intermittent exotropia vision training through follow up of average 3 years using proprioceptive test (Maindot test). Methods: 35 people (18 men, 17 women) with mean age of 13.48 (${\pm}2.45$) with corrected visual acuity of 0.9 or higher and normal binocular vision and control were observed for changes between before, after, and 3 years following the vision training during the period from 2005 to 2009. Results: After training, the correlation between the changed amount of deviation and PRC(diplopia) value and symptoms was not significant (p>0.05). However, it showed a statistically significant (p<0.001) correlation that change of the binocular proprioceptive sense abilities is decreased subjective symptoms. Conclusions: Binocular proprioceptive sense may be used in variety of purposes and applications such as predictive evaluation of binocular symptoms, binocular function performance evaluation after vision training and prism treatment.
