Proprioception. Can it improve?
Based on scientific evidence, can proprioception improve I have wondered for years. If so, how can we measure this improvement?
Reason for these questions: For years clinicians and exercise professionals have stated that certain exercises improve proprioception, often using balance exercise regimes. Some have even claimed that proprioception exercises improve athletic performance.

Proprioception is a motor control mechanism, thus it is involved in all types of exercise and not only when doing balancing work

I think after the injury, the mechanosensory neurons can relearn to control the movement, considering their plasticity. This can be achieved by performing specific movements and exercises to allow for relearning the movement and controlling it. The article also sheds light on other explanations of proprioception recovery and improvement.

Yes, proprioception can be improved. That has been demonstrated with the use of proprioceptive insoles.

It would be interesting to study the link between plyometric training and proprioception as the stretch-shortening cycle responsible for elastic reuse should take advantage of the myotatic reflex to control these mechanics.

Absolutely. We use proprioceptive insoles to manage the PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity and RFS. These insoles have proven to be very effective in improving balance and postural disturbances.

Dear Professor. G. Shashikumar
I hope this email finds you well. As a lecture coordinator, I am writing to invite you to deliver a guest lecture to our member universities and institutes across Asia.
Our initiative aims to foster greater intellectual and cultural exchange between students and researchers across the region. We believe that hosting distinguished speakers, like yourself, can promote the sharing of ideas and perspectives.
Our member institutions would greatly benefit from your expertise. A lecture from you, whether delivered remotely or in-person during a visiting fellowship, would be warmly received by audiences at our partners in China, Japan, India, Korea, Thailand and beyond.
Honoraria and travel expenses would be provided for an in-person lecture. For a remote lecture, we offer an honorarium in appreciation of your time and insights. We can collaborate to determine suitable dates, formats, topics and other details.
Please let me know if you would be interested in this opportunity to engage with our pan-Asian academic network. I welcome any questions and look forward to your response regarding a potential guest lecture.
Best regards, Chinatsu Yui
