ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
Proprioception can be described as an individual's ability to identify limb position, posture, equilibrium, and movement with neural signaling in the body. The perception of conscious awareness of position is sensed by the sensory receptors known as proprioceptors. The proprioceptors are specialized sensory receptors for sensing any kind of tension and tissue stretch in the human body.
