dc.description.abstract | Two experiments were performed to determine if proprioceptive signals are perceived more readily in terms of limb segment inclinations to the vertical than as joint angles. Subjects attempted to match arm positions with the upper arms supported at different inclinations. Constant error data showed that, when instructed to match forearm inclinations to the vertical, subjects were very accurate. When required to match elbow joint angles, however, errors were strongly biased in the direction of matching forearm inclinations. The results support a view of proprioception as a system in which afferent signals related to the gravitational torques acting at joints lead to the perception of limb orientation rather than joint angles. Such a system would allow more efficient determination of the relationship of limb segments to external objects than would one based purely on joint angles. | en_US |
