The basic sensory mechanisms involved in transducing information concerning the spatial properties of objects and the movements and forces generated by the hand are briefly reviewed. The contribution of different cutaneous mechanoreceptors to the processing of spatial information is discussed in the context of psychophysical and neurophysiological studies of the tactile sensory system. The specialization of the hand with respect to the sensory mechanisms that contribute to our awareness of finger position, movement, and force is reviewed, and experimental evidence indicating the critical role played by muscle spindle receptors in proprioception is described.
本文简要回顾了将有关物体空间特性以及手部产生的运动和力的信息进行转换的基本感觉机制。在触觉感觉系统的心理物理学和神经生理学研究背景下,讨论了不同皮肤机械感受器对空间信息处理的贡献。本文还回顾了手部在有助于我们感知手指位置、运动和力的感觉机制方面的特殊性,并描述了表明肌梭感受器在本体感觉中起关键作用的实验证据。
