What's Proprioception again?
What's Proprioception again?
Proprioception is our sense of where parts of our body are in relation to each other, and how much force is needed to move parts of our body to a particular position or to complete a particular task. Children with limited proprioception are often clumsy, wiggly, and seek out a great deal of movement during their day to make up for their decreased sensation.
