  2. Proprioception and motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception_and_Motor...

    Proprioceptive feedback is also linked to motor deficits in Parkinson's disease and cerebral palsy. People with cerebral palsy often suffer from spasticity due to hyperreflexia. [13] A common clinical test of spasticity is the pendulum test, in which the subject remains seated and the relaxed leg is dropped from horizontal.

  3. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

    The cone penetration or cone penetrometer test (CPT) is a method used to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of soils and delineating soil stratigraphy. It was initially developed in the 1950s at the Dutch Laboratory for Soil Mechanics in Delft to investigate soft soils. Based on this history it has also been called the "Dutch ...

  4. Plyometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plyometrics

    Proprioception is an important component of balance, coordination and agility, which is also required for safe performance of plyometric exercises. Further safety considerations include: Age: should be taken into account for both prepubescent and the elderly because of hormonal changes.

  5. Sense of balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_of_balance

    It is the area of integration between proprioceptive, and vestibular inputs, to aid in unconscious maintenance of balance and posture. The inferior olivary nucleus aids in complex motor tasks by encoding coordinating timing sensory information; this is decoded and acted upon in the cerebellum. [9] The cerebellar vermis has three main parts.

  6. Motor coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_coordination

    A woman exercising. In physiology, motor coordination is the orchestrated movement of multiple body parts as required to accomplish intended actions, like walking.This coordination is achieved by adjusting kinematic and kinetic parameters associated with each body part involved in the intended movement.

  7. Vestibular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system

    Human vestibular system of the semicircular canals in the inner ear. The vestibular system, in vertebrates, is a sensory system that creates the sense of balance and spatial orientation for the purpose of coordinating movement with balance.

  8. Rolling cone motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_cone_motion

    Rolling cone motion is the rolling motion generated by a cone rolling over another cone. In rolling cone motion, at least one of the cones is convex , while the other cone may be either convex, or concave, or a flat surface (a flat surface can be regarded as a special case of a cone whose apex angle equals π {\displaystyle \pi } ).

  9. Sensory processing disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_disorder

    Somatodyspraxia: poor motor planning (related to poor information coming from the tactile and proprioceptive systems) Auditory-language problems Both visual perceptual and auditory language deficits were thought to possess a strong cognitive component and a weak relationship to underlying sensory processing deficits, so they are not considered ...
