Proprioceptive Rehabilitation After Spine Injury and Surgery

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Proprioception in Orthopaedics, Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation

Abstract

Spine plays an important role in generating proprioceptive input impulse. Proprioceptive inputs provide sensation of movement and posture. The important effects of the spine elements on proprioception, joint position, kinesthesia, functional movement, and posture are well known. The possible alterations in proprioception after spine injury, surgery, and rehabilitation are discussed in details in this chapter.
