Neck Proprioception Shapes Body Orientation and Perception of Motion
This review article deals with some effects of neck muscle proprioception on human balance, gait trajectory, subjective straight-ahead (SSA), and self-motion perception. These effects are easily observed during neck muscle vibration, a strong stimulus for the spindle primary afferent fibers. We first remind the early findings on human balance, gait trajectory, SSA, induced by limb, and neck mus...
متن کاملPerception of passive whole-body rotations in the absence of neck and body proprioception.
1. This study investigated whether accurate perception of body rotation after passive horizontal whole-body rotations in the dark requires the integration of both vestibular and neck-body proprioceptive signals. 2. In the first experiment, the gain of the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) of normal subjects ("controls") and of a patient without proprioception of the neck and body muscles was assesse...
متن کاملNeck proprioception and spatial orientation in cervical dystonia.
Neck muscle vibration is known to influence body orientation and posture during locomotion and stance in normal subjects. To verify the hypothesis that neck proprioceptive input can be misinterpreted in patients with cervical dystonia (CD), lateral continuous vibration was applied to the sternocleidomastoid muscle during both stepping-in-place and quiet stance, with eyes closed. The orienting r...
متن کاملBiological and body motion perception
The recognition of biological motion and actions is a central visual function that requires the spatio-temporal integration of complex visual patterns. This function requires advanced mechanisms of pattern recognition and the organization of Gestalt patterns in space-time. The investigation of body motion perception has a long tradition in psychology. However, clear ideas about underlying neura...
متن کاملProprioception and person perception: politicians and professors.
Social-categorical knowledge is partially grounded in proprioception. In Study 1, participants describing "hard" and "soft" politicians, and "hard" and "soft" scientists used different "hard" and "soft" traits for the two groups, suggesting that the meaning of these traits is context specific. Studies 2 to 4 showed that both meanings were supported by hard and soft proprioception. Consistent wi...
