INTRODUCTION Proprioception is defined as the sense of the relative position of neighboring parts of the body. It is the ability to distinguish how ones body is situated‚ either in motion or stationary within space. Proprioception is like a third sensory modality that supplies feedback to the solely on the status of the body internally‚ the first two senses being interoceptive and exteroceptive. The proprioceptive ability that one possesses is the sense that specifies whether the body is moving at

level of injury refers to the lowest part of the spinal cord that function normally following injury. In some cases‚ following injury some motor and sensory nerves are still functioning either normally or slightly abnormal; this is called incomplete SCI. In other cases‚ there is a complete loss of motor function and an almost complete loss of sensory nerve function. If all four quadrants of the body are affected by paralysis‚ it is called quadriplegia or tetraplegia. Paraplegia is when the lower

Montessori made materials that satisfy the child ’s need for movement while at the same time furthering sensory development and keen observation on the part of the child. Montessori realized that she could not bring to children all that the universe contained‚ but that she could provide "the keys" needed for an _on going awareness of elements that would be

different types of sensations because our nervous system encodes messages. German physiologist Johannes Muller in his doctrine of specific nerve energies described a kind of code which is anatomical. In his doctrine‚ Muller explains that different sensory modalities exist because signals received by the sense organs stimulate different nerve pathways that lead to different areas of the brain. For example‚ when the ear receives signals‚ these signals cause impulses to travel along the auditory nerve

specialized cells responsible for detecting specific type of energy as a result of transduction. Transduction is the process of changing the stimulus sense into energy for neural activity. The energy transduced at the receptor is received by the sensory nerve on to the thalamus‚ then to the brain for the corresponding response. 5 Senses: 1. Vision 2. Hearing 3. Smell 4. Taste 5.

something that has caused controversy among many scholars. On one hand is the idea of Empiricism while on the other hand is the idea of Rationalism. Empiricists are people who believe that whatever we know‚ and hence believe in‚ is gotten through sensory experience. They assert that the mind was as pure as white- defined as tabula rasa by them- and whatever that we know now as knowledge was installed or written on the mind by the senses’ experiences and absorbed into the brains. The information gotten

How we interpret experiences and interactions in our environment is called sensory processing. Sensory processing allows us to make neuronal pathways in our brain when we discover something new through our senses. When a child is regularly stimulated through his senses‚ he is more likely to begin making new neuronal pathways and also strengthen

The human body has the ability to understand the environment around it by using its senses. The five basic human senses are hearing‚ sight‚ touch‚ smell‚ and taste. Anytime one of these senses is triggered by a specific stimulus the signal is transmitted to the brain in order for the information to be interpreted. This transmission process is known as perception. First the body will experience an external stimulus‚ the sensation. Then this information will be transformed into electrical stimulation
