“Imposed” and “obtained” ankle proprioception across the life span—Commentary on Djajadikarta et al.

to the editor: Three different methods—movement detection, movement reproduction, and movement discrimination—are used for assessing proprioceptive acuity, and in recent years, the neurophysiological mechanisms underpinning these different methods have received increased attention in sport, exercise, and clinical research. Han et al. (5) critically reviewed the three commonly used proprioceptive assessment methods: Threshold to Detection of Passive Motion (TTDPM), Joint Position Sense (JPS), and Active Movement Extent Discrimination Assessment (AMEDA), and argued that the neurophysiological mechanisms associated with different methods are distinct (5).
