ELI5, what is proprioception
In: 58
Close your eyes, then touch your nose with your finger. How did you do that without seeing what you were doing?
Proprioception is simply the mechanism (an actual bona fide “sixth sense”) that keeps track of the sort of information you need to touch your nose: the angle of your joints, how fast your limbs are moving, how much load you’re applying to your muscles (e.g. how hard you’re pulling).
