The definition of proprioception in the literature is equivocal, therefore it is desirable for communication and comprehension purposes that all authors who use proprioception and its related terms reach a consensus as to their meaning. This review aims to clarify these terms and to improve the understanding of the proprioceptive system. Over the years, many different views have been put forward on the origin of proprioception. The present-day view is that, in the absence of vision, we are able to determine the location of our limbs by signals of both peripheral and central origin. Nonetheless, recent research findings argue that the centrally generated sense of effort may not be well-suited to signal position sense and suggest revising the sense of effort hypothesis. This paper enlightens the latest views on the role of peripheral afferents and central signals involved in the proprioceptive system. It also describes the most common experimental protocols used to evaluate proprioception. The paper's final section describes in detail the effect of different muscle contraction types on kinaesthetic sense-in particular, on the sense of limb position.
本体感觉在文献中的定义是含糊不清的，因此，为了便于交流和理解，所有使用本体感觉及其相关术语的作者都应该就其含义达成共识。本文旨在澄清这些术语，并提高对本体感觉系统的理解。多年来，人们对本体感觉的起源提出了许多不同的观点。目前的观点是，在没有视觉的情况下，我们能够通过来自外周和中枢的信号来确定四肢的位置。然而，最近的研究结果表明，中枢产生的用力感可能并不适合信号位置感，并建议修正用力感假说。本文阐述了关于参与本体感觉系统的外周传入和中枢信号的最新观点。它还描述了评估本体感觉最常用的实验方案。本文的最后一节详细描述了不同肌肉收缩类型对动觉的影响，特别是对肢体位置感的影响。
